Boldings Report 18/2/09

 

          Weights were down on a frost affected Wednesday open at Boldings Pools and Richard Lawson (Maver) was able to win with 18-13-0. He was on Larch peg 5 and fished to the weed bed with a straight lead rig to take carp in the 1lb to 3lb bracket.

          Fish of the same size made up the 16-1-0 which gave Jeff Harston (Weston Pools second place. Jeff had his fish on maggot, fished to the stumps at peg 11 on the Stock Pool. Third and fourth also came from the Stock when Bob Tromans (Fiery Holes) weighed 15-9-0 at peg 3 to pip Pete Plant (Maver) on 15-7-0 at peg 7.

         

          Ken Humphries (Morgans Oswestry) landed the best catch of the week at Boldings despite the frost on Thursday. Ken offered maggot into the corner and to the far bank at Middle Pool peg 5, and netted carp to 5lbs on his way to 48-7-0.

          Darren Painter  (Baggeridge) couldn’t match the winner with his Ash Pool best and finished 30lbs short on 18-8-0 at peg 8. Ian Hodson (Swan Jacks) topped the Beech card with 11-9-0 from peg 20 for third, with Simon Osbourne (Maver) one ounce behind him on 11-8-0 at Ash peg 6.

 

          Paul Edwards (Dorset Pools) fished a straight lead to the far bank from Sycamore peg 8, baiting his hook with red maggot to tempt carp to 5lbs, which helped him to a narrow victory. At the whistle, he had 26-14-0 in the net, which held off John Francis (Rod & Gun) who had a level 26-0-0. John’s catch topped the list on the Willows Pool, and came to corn, fished at 10 metres at peg 5.

          Keith Powell (Wolverhampton) put 24-6-0 on the scales at Sycamore 33 for third and Gary Morris (OB Wolves) had 22-8-0 at Sycamore 16 to take 4^th.

 

          Eric Bancroft (R&G) was on the end of the dam wall at peg 1 on the Oak Pool on Sunday where maggot, fished in the side saw him ease ahead of fellow Rod & Gun man Dave Barnard. Eric included carp to 5lbs in a winning net of 33-3-0. Dave was on the peg which produced the runner up the day before, number 5 on the Willows. He offered pellet at 8 metres and had carp to 3lbs in a 21-10-0 total.

          Oak pegs completed the frame, with Dave Hailey (OBW) filling third with 20-14-0 at peg 13 and Rob Gratton (Wolves) having 19-0-0 for 4^th at peg 18.
