Boldings Report
Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) was back at the top of the Monday list at Boldings Pools this week, storming to victory with easily the best catch of the week, after drawing peg 7 on the Beech Pool.
Tempting carp to 8lbs with pellet at 7 metres from the point, Colin dropped a steady supply of fish into the net through the match to end the day on 107-5-0.
In the corner at peg 3 Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) also offered pellet, fishing to the paddles and at 7 metres, but found a smaller stamp of fish, with samples to 5 lbs adding up to 61-4-0 to give him second.
Half way up the spit, at peg 5 Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) had 43-7-0 in third and Phil Rhodes (OB Wolves) had a level 37-0-0 at peg 18 for 4th.
Ralph Johnson (Bilston Ang Cent) staked his claim to the winners purse at peg 7 on the Stock Pool on Wednesday by posting a weight of 80-5-0, which consisted of carp to 6lbs, caught on pellet, fished shallow at 5 metres and in the edge.
Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) employed the same tactics at peg 8 on the Middle pool to find carp to 7lbs. There were less of them though, and Mick had to settle for second with 56-2-0. The two corner pegs at the other end of the Middle Pool gave the remaining frame places, with Stuart Aston (OBW) getting third thanks to 54-9-0 at peg 1, leaving Mel Kitson (R&G) completing the line up with 52-12-0 at peg 11.
Eric Bancroft converted his second on Monday to a first on Thursday when his Sycamore Pool net of 62-12-0 from peg 22, was too good for a trio of weights from the Chestnut. Eric’s catch was made up with carp to 7lbs which came to pellet, up in the water at 7 metres, alternated with close in.
Leader of the three framers on the Chestnut was Ed Turner (OBW) who had 57-11-0 on pellet, fished to the island and 4 metres at peg 21. Over at peg 8 Denis Whitehouse (
The Sycamore provided the winner again on Saturday when Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) worked pellet and corn with both waggler and leger tactics. He contacted carp to 8lbs to put together 60-4-0.
Last week-ends double winner John Francis (R&G) took second with a Chestnut best of 50-9-0 at peg 35, then it was back to the Sycamore for third and fourth, with Paul Evans (Willis Worms) finishing 2lbs behind Francis with 48-9-0 at peg 5, leaving Harry Colley (OBW) to round things off with 43-14-0 at peg 33.
Sunday gave the tightest frame, with the top four weights all in the seventies, and the Chestnut finally getting the better of the Sycamore when Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) claimed the laurels. He broke the pellet domination as well by feeding maggot in the side at peg 14 to pick off carp to 8lbs, which gave a final return of 78-8-0.
Dave Hailey (OBW) used shallow pellet and paste close in at peg 50 on the Sycamore to net 76-3-0 of carp to 7lbs to finish on 76-3-0, just getting ahead of Pete Ricketts, who famed again with a Willows best of 75-5-0 at peg 9. Mick Jameson also had his second time in the frame when he put a level 72-0-0 on the scales at Sycamore 13.
