Boldings report

Boldings Report 25/12/08.

Matt Stobbs (Oakengates Ang Cent) chose the right week-end to notch up a winning double at Boldings Pools, with his first leg win coming on Saturdays big Fur & Feather, when seventy two anglers gathered at the complex. Fittingly, it was the Chestnut Pool which provided Matt with the win which filled his arms with Christmas goodies. He drew peg 37, and combined pellet with maggot, fished at 5 metres and 10 metres to pick up carp to 5lbs for a final weight of 39-1-0.

Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) was over at peg 13 on the same pool, where he too combined pellet and maggot, fished at 8 metres for carp to 4lbs and bream to 3lbs, totaling 33-3-0.

Sean Barber (Maver) had the top score on the Larch, 28-13-0 for third, then it was back to the Chestnut for 26-15-0 from 4^th man Andy Williams (Dorset Pools).

The following day Matt had a similar weight to win again, this time from the Hawthorn Pool. Pellet and maggot did the trick again, alternated between fishing into the corner, and out to the island, with carp to 5lbs again making up the winning total, which was 39-7-0.

Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) offered maggot at 10 metres at peg 31 on the Chestnut for a mix of carp and bream scaling 30-0-0, which saw him just nick second from Pete Plant (Maver). Pete was on peg 3 on the Hawthorn, and finished two ounces short of Colin on 29-14-0.

Dave Brown (Maver) netted 26-12-0 at point peg 28 on the Chestnut for 4^th.

Carl Foster (OB Wolves) also recorded a double top at Boldings, with victories in both mid-week matches, and like Stobbs, they both came from different pools. The first was on the Wednesday open when he fished maggot into the corner at Stock Pool peg 4 to pick off carp from 1lb to 3lbs on his way to 36-10-0.

Runner up Andy Bayliss-Kyte (Maver) had similar sized fish at Ash peg 14, where he alternated between 5 metres and 10 with pellet, to finish on 30-10-0.

A hawthorn best of 27-10-0 gave Kelvin Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent ) third at peg 11, and at Hawthorn 5 John Wild (Stafford) scaled 22-11-0 in 4^th.

Carl drew peg 21 on the Chestnut on Thursday and switched between the close in line and fishing to the island with pellet and maggot for a winning 31-5-0.

Dave Barnard (Rod & Gun) fished pellet at 10 metres at peg 49 on the Sycamore to net a mix of carp and bream for 27-1-0 and second place. Kevin Melville (Dorset Pools) had 25-3-0 from peg 13 on the Sycamore for third and Graham Roberts (OBW) completed the top four with 23-8-0 from Chestnut 37.
