Boldings Report 3/6/09

 

            Top man at Boldings Pools this week was John Francis (Rod & Gun) who nearly doubled the runner up weight when he won the Saturday open with 106-0-0. Carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs picked up his pellet bait, fished to each side of peg 4 on the Chestnut Pool.

            Gary Morris (OB Wolves) was on peg 4 on the Larch and offered corn and pellet, alternating between the 8 metre line and close in, but couldn’t stay with the winner, and finished with 56-8-0, which included carp to 6lbs.Third and fourth also came from the Larch, with Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) picking up third at peg 16 where he weighed 53-2-0, and at peg 1 Paul Dudley (OBW) had 38-5-0 in 4^th.

 

            Gary Morris converted his Saturday second to a Sunday first when he drew peg 8 on the point on the Sycamore the following day. Carp to double figures and bream to 3lbs showed a taste for his corn and pellet mixture, fished at 4 metres, and to each side of the point, to give figures of 84-13-0.

            At peg 21 on the Chestnut Dave Craggs (OBW) fished maggot to the island to tempt carp to 7lbs to finish second on 77-4-0. Lee Smith (Wolverhampton) scaled 76-12-0 at chestnut 16 for third and Dave Matson (R&G) had an Ash best of 73-2-0 in 4^th.

 

            Martin Davenport (Dorset Pools) kicked off the mid week matches with a narrow victory on Monday, when he finished ahead of a trio of Rod & Gun men. Martin fished pellet and corn close in at peg 7 on the Chestnut to tempt 61-13-0 of carp to 7lbs, to pip the first of the Rod & Gun men, Jack Hailey, to top spot. Jack was over on peg 30 on the Chestnut, and had a similar catch to the winner, to weigh 60-7-0.

            Only two ounces behind jack was Dave Barnard with a Sycamore best of 60-5-0, with Mick Williams getting fourth with 50-7-0, also from the Sycamore.

 

            Carp from 1lb to 5lbs, caught on corn, close in at peg 5 on the Ash, added up to 56-11-0 to give Phil Foster (OBW) a win on Wednesday. Second also came from the ash when Frank Mountford (Wolverhampton) put 48-15-0 on the scales at peg 23, then it was over to the Hawthorn for third man Tim Probert (OBW) who was one fish short of 2^nd on 47-0-0 at peg 15. Ash peg 9 was in the frame again when Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) had 42-12-0 for 4^th.

 

            Thursday saw another close frame, with the outcome of the match in doubt right up to the final whistle. When the end came, Harry Colley (OBW) had squeezed ahead by just under a pound to win with 56-7-0. He was on peg 22 on the Oak Pool and offered meat and pellet at 6 metres, for carp to 5lbs.

            At Chestnut peg 4 Mick Jameson had slightly bigger fish, with carp to 6lbs coming to his pellet feed and hookbait, fished at 5 metres, and close in, but he needed one more fish at the finish, ending the day on 55-8-0.

            Only two ounces behind Jameson, with a Sycamore best of 55-6-0 at peg 13 was Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) Dave Barnard framed again with 50-3-0 at Chestnut peg 4.
