BOLDINGS REPORT 24-11-09

 

          Kelvin Emlyn (Oakengates Angling Centre) was the star of the show at Boldings Pools this week, finishing with well over double the weight of anyone else on the Sunday open, when he put together the best winning catch of the weeks programme.

          Having drawn the shortest walk from the café, peg 1 on the Oak, Kel tackled it by fishing maggot in the corner, and down the dam wall to net a succession of carp to 7lbs on his way to 101-10-0.

          Runner up Dave White (Maver) didn’t come anywhere near the winners catch rate with his Chestnut best of 43-2-0, which fell to pellet, fished at 5 metres from peg 21.

          Colin Wozak (Telford) netted a Beech Pool best of 40-10-0 at peg 18, and Elliot Johnson (Rod & Gun) made it four different pools in the top four places with 39-4-0 from Ash peg 7.

 

          Colin Reynolds (Bilston Angling Centre) has won a high proportion of the Monday opens since they started, and followed up last Mondays win with yet another one this week.

          Having won on the Stock Pool last time, Colin took his victory on the Oak this week. Fishing pellet at 8 metres on peg 32, he put a level 51-0-0 on the scales, with fish to 5lbs making the weight.

          On the same side of the pool, Alan Jones (Deggys) also worked pellet at peg 26, to find carp to 5lbs on the 6 metre line and close in, to finish on 43-0-0. Almost opposite Alan, on peg 15, Martin Travis (Total Angling) scaled 34-13-0 in third and up by the island at peg 18, 29-4-0 gave 4^th to Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun).

 

          Andy Williams (Vespe/Total Angling) was the clear winner on Wednesday as he practiced for the forthcoming final round of the Shropshire Winter League. Fishing maggot in the side and shallow in open water at peg 8 on the Middle Pool he netted carp to 6lbs on his way to 86-4-0.

          Fellow Total Angling rod Robbie Griffiths was second with 49-10-0 on similar tactics at peg 5 on the Middle.

 

          Thursday saw a close finish when Carl Foster (OB Wolves) stopped Colin Reynolds from notching up a double. Carl was on peg 1 on the Oak and had 48-9-0 on pellet, while Colin was one small fish off his second win of the week when he scaled 47-1-0 at Oak 27.

          It was close for third and fourth as well, with Dave Craggs (OBW) finishing on 35-11-0 at Oak 29 and Dave Barnard (R&G) on 35-7-0 at Oak 22.

 

          Maver rod Simon Richardson, who will be in the Total Angling team at the Winter League match, won the Saturday open, in another close finish. He fished shallow with caster at peg 3 on the Middle to end the day on 77-6-0, with Morgans rod Ken Humphries, who will be with Rod & Gun for the league, hard on his heels on 76-10-0 at Middle 9.

          Another Rod & Gun man, John Francis took third with an Oak best of 59-4-0.

BOLDINGS REPORT 17-11-09

At Boldings Pools Monday proved to be one of the better days, and Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) was back at the top of the Monday list with a 61-15-0 winner, which was boosted by a carp of 13lbs, hooked seconds before the final whistle.

Colin was drawn on peg 10 on the Stock Pool, and caught close in on maggot.

Runner up Graham Evason (OB Wolves) worked pellet at 12 metres from peg 3 on the Hawthorn, and was in the driving seat with 54-11-0 until Reynolds hooked his big carp, leaving Graham to settle for second.

Just behind second was Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) on 52-15-0 at Stock peg 11 and Martin Travis (total Angling) had 42-6-0 for 4^th at Hawthorn 13.

Hawthorn peg 13 gave a similar weight on the Wednesday open, but this time 43-0-0 was enough to take the coin for Stuart Aston (Swan JT). Pellet at 11 metres brought carp to 5lbs to the net to give Stuart his victory, just ahead of Ian Hughes (Shimano Wales). Ian fished maggot to the island, and into open water at peg 11 on the same pool, and he too had carp to 5lbs in his 41-5-0.

Brian Clarke (Maver Midlands) was top man on the Ash, taking 3^rd overall with 30-8-0 at peg 3 and back on the Hawthorn Carl Foster (OBW) was a close 4^th on 29-1-0 at peg 9.

Dave Barnard (R&G) took a turn at the top on Thursday when he had the top catch of the week. Pegged on Beech 7, he fished pellet at 6 metres and close in to finish on 63-11-0, helped by carp to 7lbs.

Carl Foster moved up from 4^th to second with an Oak Pool best of 61-9-0, which was all small carp caught on pellet at 5 metres and in the side. Colin Reynolds framed again, taking third with 52-2-0 at Oak peg 21, and Graham Evason finished one place behind him again, scaling 43-14-0 at Oak peg 3.

Weights dipped in Saturdays soggy conditions and Keith Powell (OBW) took a modest 30-11-0 to the scales to record victory with a 5lb advantage over Dave Brown (Maver).

Keith was on peg 5 on the Middle Pool and fished at 6 metres and into the corner with pellet, which was picked up by carp to 4lbs. Dave also had a corner peg on the Middle, peg 1, where he worked with shallow caster in open water, combined with pellet in the side, to net carp to 3lbs, ending the day on 25-12-0.

Stock peg 11 filled third again, this time for Jamie Langford (OBW) who weighed 24-11-0, leaving Sam Rushdon (Fosters) to finish things off with 22-8-0 at Middle peg 9.

On Sunday the Oak Pool came out top, giving three close weights for the top three places.

John Francis (R&G) led the way from peg 16, with carp to 5lbs caught on pellet in the side and at 8 metres adding up to 50-2-0.

On the opposite bank, at peg 27, Pete Plant (Maver) fished up in the water with caster to finish exactly a pound behind the winner on 49-2-0, and on peg 5, Phil Rhodes (OBW) had 47-8-0 from the corner for third.

Gary Morris (OBW) had a Beech best of 45-0-0 from point peg 7 to finish in 4^th.
