Boldings report

Boldings Report 30/12/08.

 

          Kelvin Emlyn (Oakengates Angling Centre) recorded the top weight of the week at Boldings Pools, and the biggest winning margin, when he doubled the runner up weight on the Sunday open, when the top three catches came from the Ash Pool.

          Kel drew peg 7 and worked maggot at 12 metres to find carp to 5lbs for a final total of 63-12-0.

          Down at the end of the Ash Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) offered pellet and maggot on the pole at 10 metres at peg 23 for 31-9-0 of carp from 1lb to 3lbs. Close behind Mick, at peg 14 on the Ash was Dave Brown (Maver Midlands) with 29-6-0. Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) and Dave Craggs (OB Wolves) shared 5^th, each with a pool best of 26-12-0, Eric topping the Beech card and Dave the Deepdale.

 

          Competitors on the Wednesday open at Boldings enjoyed mild conditions, with temperatures of 10c, a complete contrast to the rest of the week. Nige Clarke (RAF Trabuco) made the most of the warmth with a 58-11-0 winner, taken on pellet at 8 metres from peg 5 on the Larch Pool. John Francis (R &G) was next to the winner and also caught on pellet, but a smaller stamp of fish left him some way short of top spot on 42-10-0. Also on the Larch was third man Rino Stanko (Oakengates Ang Cent) who scaled 38-2-0 at peg 1. Fourth went to a Sycamore best of 38-3-0 by Phil Rhodes (Mid Leisure).

 

          On Thursday the temperature had dropped to not much above freezing, with a biting east wind and weights dropped accordingly, leaving Mick Jameson to win with a hard earned 23-8-0. Ash peg 7 featured again, with a catch of small carp on pellet at 8 metres giving Mick the victory to add to his Sunday second.

          Pete Tolley (OBW)  fished corn to the island and in the channel at peg 5 on the Hawthorn to claim second by 12 ounces. He had 21-12-0 at the whistle, while Dave Barnard (R&G) had a level 21-0-0 at Ash peg 9. Mel Kitson (R& G) was only a further 10 ounces behind in 4^th when he scaled 20-6-0 at Hawthorn peg 3.

 

          Last week-ends double winner Matt Stobbs (Oakengates Ang Cent) picked up another first on Saturday, putting peg 13 on the Sycamore back on the winning peg list for the first time in a while. Matt offered pellet and maggot at 6 metres, and close in to the point for 33-12-0 of carp to 4lbs to seal his win.

          Gary Morris (OBW) had a load of small carp in the 4oz to 6oz class, fishing pellet close in at corner peg 16 on the Sycamore, and was well clear of third with 32-1-0.

          Third came from Sycamore peg 2 when Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) weighed 21-8-0 to pip a Chestnut best of 21-6-0 by Stuart Aston (Swan Jacks).
