Boldings Report
Colin Reynolds (Bilston Angling Centre) has been notching up a list of wins at Boldings Pools over the summer months, and had his best week so far at the complex this week, enjoying no less than three first places and a third.
The Willows Pool must rate as Colin’s favourite, as all three victories came from there, starting on Monday when 78-4-0 from peg 8 put him well clear of the field. Pellet at 4 metres saw the Bilston ace netting carp to 7lbs and ghosties to 3lbs.
Phil Rhodes (OB Wolves) fished the 6 metre line with pellet at Willows 17 for 54-7-0 to fill second place, ahead of Karl Haywood (Sedgeley Lions) who was top man on the Oak Pool with 51-3-0 at peg 5. Fourth also came from the Oak when Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) put 46-9-0 on the scales at peg 8.
Mel Kitson (Rod & Gun) took a turn at the top of the frame on Wednesday when he made the most of a draw on point peg 13 on the Sycamore. Paste and corn, fished at 5 metres and in the side did the damage, with carp to 8lbs adding up to 81-4-0.
Ralph Johnson (Bilston Ang Cent) offered pellet to each side of peg 6 on the Chestnut to net carp to 6lbs and bream to 3lbs to end the day on 62-3-0.
Brian Clarke (Maver Midlands) finished in third with 58-8-0 from the Sycamore, and 37-2-0 gave Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) 4th.
Top weight of the week came on Thursday when peg 13 on the Sycamore provided the winner again, this time for Kevin Melville (Dorset Pools) who fished pellet, down the shelf, to each side of the peg, for a succession of carp to 8lbs, which gave a final total of 124-9-0.
Carl Foster (OBW) also caught well at Sycamore 42. He fished pellet at 5 metres and corn close in to find carp to 9 lbs and bream to 4lbs to finish just off the ton with 99-10-0.
Colin Reynolds collected his third prize on this match, scaling 75-9-0 at Sycamore 22, and a Chestnut top score of 75-6-0 gave Ed Turner (OBW) fourth overall.
Colin Reynolds was back at the top on Saturday when pellet at 6 metres and corn in the edge at Willows peg 5 saw him netting carp to 7lbs for a 70-8-0 winning total.
Mark Stevens (Sonubaits) went out to 12 metres with pellet peg 38 on the Chestnut to find carp and skimmers, with close on half of his 63-1-0 consisting of skimmers.
Ralph Johnson framed again, picking up third with 59-9-0 at Chestnut 14. Fourth came from the Willows when Keith Miller scaled 54-11-0 at peg 9.
Reynolds rounded off a great week with his third win of the week after drawing Willows peg 17 on Sunday. Carp between one pound and four pounds responded to pellet on the 4 metre line, with better fish, samples to 7lbs, coming to corn in the side, which helped Colin to 67-5-0.
Over at peg 5 Steve Roberts (R&G) was left needing a couple more fish when he saw the scales settle at 60-4-0, having caught close in on corn and pellet. Close behind Steve was Jamie Langford (OBW) on 58-2-0 at Willows 20, and just behind him was Graham Roberts (OBW) with a Chestnut top score of 56-2-0.
