Boldings report

 

 

BOLDINGS REPORT 29/6/10.

 

          Four out of five matches at Boldings Pools needed over 100lbs to win, and the top weight of the week was over 167lbs.

          That came on the Tuesday open when Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) stormed to victory at peg 5 on the Ash Pool, hammering out 167-12-0 of carp to 8lbs. Shallow fished pellet was telling method for Pete.

          Pete Moss (Telford) was on the end of the Ash at peg 23 where corn and pellet close in put 88-6-0 in the net, which put him into second place, ahead of Tony Foster (OB Wolves) who had the top weight on the Beech Pool, 83-13-0.

 

          Malcolm Ginty (OB Wolves) recorded his first Boldings win on Monday, leading a trio of ‘tons’ with 116-13-0 from peg 5 on the Hawthorn. Pellet at 5metres and close in tempted carp to 9lbs to help Malc to his victory.

          Carl Foster (OBW) offered pellet and corn to the island, and close in at corner peg 7, and found carp to 8lbs to make up a total of 110-11-0 for second. Another corner peg, number 1, gave Eric Bancroft a return of 101-15-0 for third.

 

          Clive Wynn (Weston Pools) made the trip down from Oswestry worthwhile on Thursday by heading a tight frame. He put together 91-6-0 at Sycamore 25 with pellet fed carp to 9lbs. John wild (Stafford) fished pellet to each side of the point at peg 13 to finish a close second on 88-11-0. Another Weston Pools rod, Mike Philbin, picked up third thanks to 82-12-0 at sycamore 22, and Tony Foster had another pool best with 81-10-0 from Chestnut 14.

 

          Steve Owen (Mid Leisure) took on the winners mantle on Saturday, alternating fishing shallow in open water and tight into the side, with pellet at peg 1 on the Hawthorn. Carp to 8 lbs obliged to give figures of 114-9-0.

          Alan Jones (Deggys) worked with shallow pellet and corn in the margins at peg 7 on the Stock Pool to finish second on 89-7-0, less than 2lbs clear of Alan Naylor (OAC/Ants Bait). He was on Stock 11 and put 87-9-0 on the scales for third, with Simon Jukes (OBW) 4^th on 82-13-0 at hawthorn 3.

 

          As well as top weight of the week, Pete Ricketts also had second best weight when he won on Sunday with 137-12-0. This time he was on the Chestnut Pool, at peg 21, and decided on a paste approach rather than shallow pellet, a move which paid off  with carp to 10lbs accepting the bait, to give a final tally of 137-12-0.

          Keith Miller (New Willenhall) was round at peg 13 where he  caught in the corner and at 5metres on pellet to record 108-10-0 for second. In between the top two, Dave Barnard (Rod & Gun) scaled 103-8-0 at peg 18 to claim third ahead of John Wild who framed again with an Oak best of 99-0-0.
