Boldings Report
With match weights settling down to winter level it was the Wednesday open which gave the top catch of the week again at Boldings Pools, where the Ash Pool provided Gary Morris (OB Wolves) with another win to back up his success of Saturday, last week.
Carl Foster (OB Wolves) finished in second for the second Wednesday running when he scaled 53-1-0. He was pegged on the opposite side of the Ash, on peg 18, where like the winner, he offered pellet, but alternated between the 10 metre and 6 metre lines, for carp to 3lbs.
Last Wednesdays winner Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall was third, close behind Foster on 52-12-0, which was a Hawthorn Pool best, and came from peg 1. Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) was back in the frame after a week out last week, taking 4th from Ash peg 5 with 36-13-0.
Having finished second on Sunday last week, Jamie Langford (OBW) alternated maggot at 12 with pellet in the margins at peg 36 on the Chestnut for a narrow victory on Saturday this week, when carp to 6 lbs added up to 37-10-0. Over on the Larch Pool Kevin Melville (Dorset) was left needing one more fish when carp to 5 lbs responded to his maggot bait, fished at 9 metres and into the side at peg 8, which gave a return of 35-8-0.
Opposite the winner, on Chestnut peg 4, Dave Yates (OBW) scaled 33-9-0 for third and Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) had 30-0-0 from opposite the island at Chestnut 26 for 4th.
Chestnut pegs filled the frame on Sunday when Eric Bancroft (R&G) kept the fish close in at peg 35 with maggot feed, and put eight and a half pounds between himself and runner up Darren Turner (Parks Tackle). Before the finishing whistle, Eric had slipped the net under 52-8-0 of carp to 6 lbs.
Round at peg 28 Darren fished to the island with maggot for carp to 4lbs which gave him a level 44-0-0 at the finish. Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) was on point peg 32 and put 39-12-0 on the scales to hold off Graham Evason (OBW) who had a level 39-0-0 at peg 3.
