Boldings report

 

 

BOLDINGS REPORT 26/5/10.

 

The rise in temperatures with the arrival of some summery weather at last has triggered the fishes spawning instinct and many fisheries have seen catches affected, but not Boldings Pools, where all five of the weeks opens were won with over 100lbs.

Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) set the trend with a high scoring win on the Monday open on the Hawthorn Pool. Drawn on peg 5, Colin had the fish feeding well on his pellet bait, fished at 4 metres, and carp to 8lbs added up to 125-1-0.

Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) finished second for the second week running and he was close to the ton with 97-2-0, taken on pellet fished to each side of peg 10. Graham Evason (OB Wolves) took third with 73-3-0 at peg 3 and Carl Foster OBW) was a close 4^th on 70-1-0 at peg 9.

 

Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) added to his double win of a fortnight ago by winning again on Wednesday. Pellet, fished shallow and down the edge at Sycamore peg45 had carp and bream lining up to the tune of 127-13-0.

Phil Shaw finished in second place again with another good weight, 95-8-0 on pellet at Sycamore 36.

Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) was on the Willows Pool, almost back to back with the winner at peg 16 where a pool best of 82-10-0 gave third overall, and another Willows catch, 76-14-0 at peg 8 put Alan Jones (Deggys) into 4^th.

 

Colin Reynolds was back at the top of the list again on Thursday, this time at peg 8 on the Sycamore. Pellet at 4 metres and to each side of the point put 116-10-0 of carp to 9lbs in the net for his second victory of the week.

John Wild (Rod & Gun) took over from Phil Shaw in second place when he recorded a Chestnut best of 93-11-0 at peg 32, then it was back to the Sycamore for third man Steve Roberts (Oak Ang Cent) whose 81-1-0 came from peg 4. Wednesdays winner Pete Ricketts was close behind Steve on 80-14-0 at Chestnut 16.

 

The Chestnut and Beech pools provided the top two catches on Saturdays big Fish O’ Mania qualifier on Saturday when 130 anglers from all over the Country lined the Boldings banks.

Richard Hoskins found corner peg 40 on the Chestnut packed with carp to 8lbs and hauled in 143-3-0 of them to book his place in the Fish O’ final.

Not far behind was popular Boldings regular Pete Plant (Maver) who had to work hard with his favourite shallow caster method at peg 32 on the Beech to net carp in the 1lb to 6lb range, and ended the day on 136-0-0. Third went to Adam Richards at Stock peg 1 where he put 103-13-0 on the scales and Mick Bull made it a ton up top four with 101-6-0 at Hawthorn 5.

 

Pete Plant recorded another 100 on Sunday when winning from Oak peg 1. Shallow caster did the trick again, giving a return of 122-5-0 for an easy win.

Kevin Melville (Dorset Pools) just pipped fellow Dorset rod Martin Davenport to second, when both men recorded pool bests. Kevin scaled 51-9-0 at Chestnut 21 and martin 51-0-0 at Sycamore 4. That left Gareth Emlyn (Oak Ang Cent) to complete the week with 49-10-0 for 4^th at Sycamore 22.
