Kevin Melville (Dorset Pools) had some more success at Boldings Pools this week when he topped the 100lbs mark to win the Monday open with 100-10-0. The catch came from the Hawthorn pool, and Kev didn’t have to go far for his fish, as carp to 8lbs came from close in and off the 4 metre line at peg 3, where pellet got the fish going.
Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) was on the point on the Beech Pool where corn, worked to either side of the peg put an even 99-0-0 in the net for second.
Andy Williams (Vespe) was a close third on 98-2-0 at Hawthorn 10 and in 4th was Chris Holmes (BAS) on 78-13-0 at Hawthorn 13.
