Boldings report
BOLDINGS REPORT 10/8/10.
Sean Barber (Maver Sonubaits) continued his classy run results at Boldings Pools with a week-end double, which included yet another top weight of the week.
That came on the Saturday open when Sean drew peg 13 on the Sycamore and hammered out 133-9-0 of carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs, using pellet and corn fished to each side of the peg.
Runner up Tony Foster (OB Wolves) used similar tactics to the winner at peg 4 on the Chestnut, where barbel featured alongside carp and bream in a net of 124-0-0.
Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) is also on a good run at Boldings and having won with a big weight in mid week he picked up third in this match. He was on Chestnut peg 36 and beat the ‘ton’ with 113-10-0. That left Brian Clarke (Maver) to finish off the top four with his 83-10-0 from Chestnut 21.
Sunday was a slower day and Barber found a change of tactics was called for after he drew Chestnut 15. His choice of shallow fished maggot proved to be the right one when he finished just ahead of Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) at Chestnut 36.
Sean had carp to 6lbs in a 78-5-0 total, and Colin had carp to 7lbs with bream to 4lbs on corn and pellet, but fell just short when the scales settled at 77-1-0.
Shane Rogers (Oakengates Ang Cent) was third with 68-5-0 from Sycamore 13, then it was back to the Chestnut where peg 21 gave fourth again, this time for Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) on 61-12-0.
Brothers Brian and Martin Travis (Total Angling) took the top two places on the Monday open at Boldings, Brian running out a comfortable winner when he scaled 92-2-0 at Oak peg 29. Pellet and maggot, fished shallow and in the edge put carp to 7lbs in Brian’s net.
Martin fished corn and pellet to each side of Oak 8 for carp to 5lbs, which gave him 67-14-0 for second. One fish behind Martin was Carl Foster (OBW) on 62-13-0 at Oak 26 and less than a pound behind Carl was Glen Brown (Oakengates Ang Cent) on 61-14-0 at Oak 1.
Matt Stobbs (Oak Ang Cent) found his form on Wednesday when his winning net was the only frame weight to come from the Middle Pool. Matt put 93-10-0 on the scales at peg 1, which was too good for the Hawthorn best of 79-6-0 by Carl Foster who improved on his third place on Monday to take second this time out. Only 5 ounces behind Carl was Danny Boden (
Pete Ricketts was only three ounces off the weeks best weight when he won the Thursday open with 133-6-0. His choice of a paste approach was spot on for carp to 9lbs and bream to 3lbs at Chestnut peg 7.
