Boldings report

 

 

BOLDINGS REPORT 27/7/10.

 

          They had a tremendous match at Boldings Pools on Sunday, when 104-6-0 was only good enough for tenth place and the top five anglers averaged over 155lbs apiece in what turned out to be a tight frame.

          For the second time in three weeks Sean Barber (Maver Sonubaits) recorded the top weight of the week at the complex, but this time he couldn’t afford to put a foot wrong with several competitors all posing a threat to his victory if he made any mistakes.

          There were no mistakes though, and no bad luck at peg 13 on the Chestnut, as Sean filled his net with carp to 9lbs to record 162-11-0, the catch coming to shallow fished pellet, alternated with corn and pellet close in.

          Both of the point pegs on the Sycamore featured, with Dave Matson (Rod & Gun) picking up second from peg and Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) finishing third on peg 13. Both fished to each side of the point, with Dave edging ahead by just over 5lbs, ending the day on 159-9-0 to Gareth’s 154-4-0.

          Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) put together an Oak Pool best of 151-5-0 at peg 8 to finish 4^th and Shane Rogers also beat the 150lbs mark with 150-9-0 for 5^th at Oak peg 29.

 

          Carl Foster won the Monday open last week, and this week it was his brother Tony Foster (OB Wolves) turn to take centre stage with a clear win. He was on Ash peg 3 and had a lot of carp in the 2lb to 3lb bracket, helped along by an occasional fish of 7lbs, all on shallow pellet, for a final tally of 136-5-0.

          Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) was almost opposite Tony, on peg18, and he also had mainly small carp on shallow pellet for his runner up 91-14-0. Glen Brown (Lilco) scaled 79-8-0 for third at Ash 9 and Carl Foster (OBW) finished 4^th this time with 77-7-0 at peg 20.

 

          Ralph Johnson (Bilston Ang Cent) had 40lbs to spare over the rest on Wednesday when carp to 13lbs added up to 130-9-0 at Hawthorn peg 3. Ralph caught on pellet at 5 metres and in the side.

          Pete Ricketts added a second to his 4^th on Sunday when he netted 89-14-0 at Hawthorn 11. Carl Foster was there again taking third with a Stock Pool best of 88-0-0, leaving Gareth Charnock (Liverpool) on 82-12-0 to pick up 4^th.

 

          Thursday saw a close finish with three pounds separating first and third, when John Wild (Stafford) topped a trio of ton with 116-2-0 form Sycamore 13.

          Eric Bancroft (R&G) just got second ahead of Ed Turner (OBW) when he put 113-11-0 on the scales at Sycamore 24 and Ed weighed 113-2-0 at Chestnut 4. Gareth Emlyn was in the frame again, his 92-7-0 at Sycamore 33 giving him 4^th.

         

          Brian Clarke (Maver) added to his Springlea successes in the week by winning the Boldings Saturday match with a level 94-0-0 from Hawthorn 13. Sean Barber warmed up for big Sunday win by finishing second on this one with an Ash pool top score of 80-11-0.

          Simon Jukes (OBW) was 10lbs behind Sean on 70-0-0 at Hawthorn 11, and Shane Rogers framed again , finishing 4^th at Ash 5 with 65-14-0.

Boldings report

 

 

BOLDINGS REPORT 20/7/10.

 

          Carl Foster (OB Wolves) headed an  Oak Pool frame on Monday at Boldings with 120-12-0but was less than an ounce ahead of runner up Harry Colley (OB Wolves). Carl was one side of the island on peg 22 and Harry was on the other side at peg 18.

          Corn and pellet was the bait combination used by Carl to attract carp to 7lbs at his peg, while Harry offered pellet and meat for carp to 8lbs. When the scales had done their work, Harry was credited with 119-15-0, just 14 ounces short of a winning total.

          Another OBW rod picked up third when Graham Evason put 110-2-0 on the scales at peg 1, which left last Sundays winner Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) to collect 4^th with his 91-10-0 at peg 27.

 

          Wednesday saw Foster add 27lbs to his Monday weight, but his 147-1-0 wasn’t enough to give him a double top as Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) had a haul of 168-5-0. Pete was on peg 11 on the Hawthorn and fished paste to the island as well as in the side to find carp to 8lbs.

          Carl fished corn and paste close in at peg 15 for his weight, which included carp to 7lbs. Just behind Carl was Mark Mountford (Shifnal) on 145-12-0 at peg 1 and Bob Tromans made it an all ton Hawthorn frame with 102-11-0 at peg 13.

          On Thursday the Beech and Oak pools gave two frame weights each, with the Beech providing the top two. First went to Steve Roberts (Oakengates Ang Cent) who was on the ‘spit’, at peg 5 and worked corn at 5 metres and close in. Carp to 8lbs accepted the bait to give a winning return of 83-6-0.

          On the opposite bank from the winner, at peg 32, Andy Williams (Vespe) combined corn with pellet, fished close in and at 7 metres to net carp to 7lbs on his way to 76-10-0 and second place.

          Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) was just 4 ounces behind second with his Oak Pool best of 76-6-0 at peg 29, and Tony Foster (OBW) finished things off with 68-2-0 at Oak 16.

 

          Less than two and a half pounds separated the top three on Saturday when the Beech gave top weight again. Caster was the winning bait this time, giving Pete Plant (Maver) a 2lb advantage over Kevin Melville (Dorset Pools). Pete used his shallow caster technique at peg 23 to build a winning total of 85-1-0 with fish to 6lbs.

          Kevin had bigger fish on corn and pellet, fished close in at peg 16, where fish to 8lbs added up to 83-0-0.

          Alan Naylor (OAC Ants Bait) prevented an all Beech frame by taking third with an Ash Pool best of 82-11-0 from peg 16, then it was back to the Beech for the 78-5-0 which gave Dave Matson (R&G) 4^th.

 

          Sycamore peg 10 came up with a 110-8-0 winner on Sunday after John Wild (Stafford) tackled it with corn and pellet, fished to each side of the peg. Carp and bream showed a liking for the feed john offered, with carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs finding their way into his net.

          Kelvin Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) used the same tactics as the winner at peg 21, and he too had a mix of carp and bream, with similar sized bream and carp to 9lbs to finish with 99-11-0.

          Pete Ricketts made the frame again, adding a third place to his mid-week win by scaling 90-11-0 at Sycamore 13, and a Chestnut top score of 81-3-0 gave Ed Turner (OBW) 4^th.

Boldings report

 

 

BOLDINGS REPORT 13/7/10.

 

          At Boldings on Sunday this week 129lbs was only good enough for 6^th place, and the two point pegs on the Sycamore produced over 350lbs between them.

          Sean Barber (Maver Sonubaits)drew point peg 13 and offered pellet, shallow, to attract carp to 8lbs and bream to 4lbs to hammer out 190-0-0 for victory.

          On peg 8 Ted Ecclestone (Stafford) worked corn and pellet to each side of the point and found carp to 9lbs  for the biggest runner up weight for some time, 161-15-0.

          Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) must have thought he was in with a shout when he put 143-8-0 on the Scales at Larch peg 1, only to find he had finished in third place. Another pool best from Steve Roberts (OAC) 140-3-0, put him in 4^th at Chestnut peg 1. Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) had 131-15-0 from Sycamore 42, and Shane Rogers ( OAC Sonubaits) had 129-2-0 from Sycamore 36 to complete the top six and there were at least two more weights of over 115lbs on an outstanding day.

 

          The week at Boldings started with a hundredweight win when Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) pulled clear of the opposition from peg 29 on the Oak Pool. Shallow pellet put Phil in command, with carp to 8lbs totting up to 112-8-0.

          Carl Foster (OB Wolves) fished corn and pellet in the side at Oak 23, and had carp to 9lbs in a runner up bag of 86-4-0. Phil Foster (OBW) was over on peg 8 where 75-9-0 gave him third, exactly 1lb in front of Glen Brown (Lilco) on 74-9-0 at peg 26.

 

          The winning weight on Wednesday differed from Mondays by only 1 ounce when Mark Mountford (Shifnal) used paste at 5 metres and close at Beech peg 11 to net 112-7-0 to score a narrow win ahead of Bob Tromans (Fiery Holes). Bob was on Beech 20, and also fished paste to find fish at 5 metres and close to the paddles for 111-0-0.Tony Foster joined Carl and Phil in the weeks prize list with a third placed 100-9-0 from beech 16, with Ralph Johnson ((Bilston Ang Cent) 4^th on 89-13-0 at Beech 32.

 

          The pace eased a little on Thursday and Ted Ecclestone was able to claim a win with 75-5-0. He was on Sycamore 36, and had carp to 8lbs on corn, fished shallow, and close in.

          Dave Barnard (Rod & Gun) fished pellet at 5 metres and close in at Sycamore 8 to finish second on 71-12-0. Nige Clarke (Fox Match) just nicked third ahead of Ben Brisbourne (Weston Tricast) by 55-7-0 to 55-6-0.

 

          Tony Foster climbed from third in the week to first on Saturday, recoding another big ton in the process. He was on Ash 23 and had a lot of fish in the 2lb to 3lb bracket, with the odd fish of 7lbs on shallow pellet to finish on 162-14-0.

          Steve Roberts was in the frame again, moving up to second this time. He had a similar catch  to the winner to record 120-4-0 at Ash 5. Ralph Johnson was another angler framing for the second time, his Beech best of 76-15-0 giving him third, leaving John Francis (R&G) to pick up 4^th with his Beech catch of 72-9-0.
