BOLDINGS REPORT  18/1/11.

 

          Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) probably won more Monday opens at Boldings Pools last year than anyone else, and he started 2011 in the same vein, scoring a clear win the first Monday match to be staged so far.

          Colin drew peg 15 on the Larch and made the most of being on the point to net carp to 5lbs and roach to 1lb using maggot and pellet at 12 metres for a total of 52-6-0.

          Next door, at peg 16, Harry Colley (OB Wolves) fished maggot at 10 metres, and he too found a mix of carp and roach for 25-13-0. Kevin Melville (Maver Total Angling) picked up third thanks to 17-14-0 from peg 6 and Graham Evason (OBW) finished off the frame with 13-14-0 from peg 4.

 

          The Beech and Stock pools proved more difficult on Wednesday and 19-10-0 from Beech 16 was enough to hand victory to Stuart Aston (Swan JT). He fished maggot at 10 metres to find carp to 3lbs and skimmers to around the pound mark.

          Runner up Phil Shaw was on the Stock Pool and used similar tactics to the winner to scale 17-8-0, which was made up with carp to 2lbs and roach to 1lb, at peg 10.

          Tony and Carl Foster (both OBW) took third and fourth, Tony having 10-11-0 at Beech 14 and Carl 9-0-0 at Beech 9.

 

          Dave Barnard (Rod & Gun) had the best open weight of the week to win the Thursday match on the Larch. He opted for a pellet approach as the temperatures were rising, a move which paid off with a lot of carp in the 1lb to 3lbs range from the 9 metre line, which added up to 72-4-0.

          Harry Colley picked up another second prize with another pellet fed catch, which came from peg 7. Like the winner he fished pellet, taking fish of a similar stamp at 6 metres, to scale 41-12-0. Third went to Steve Roberts (Oakengates Ang Cent) on 38-4-0 at peg 23, and 4^th to Ted Ecclestone (Stafford) who weighed 31-7-0 at peg 5.

 

          Winter League team members boosted the numbers on Saturday, and Maver Midlands men dominated the frame, with only Dave Barnard and Steve Roberts  preventing a clean sweep of the top six places.

          Maver rods took the first three prizes, with Pete Plant claiming first with a level 45-0-0, taken on maggot, fished down the side of Hawthorn peg 7, in two feet of water.

          Stu Ballard topped the Ash card with carp and roach on maggot at 10 metres for 37-12-0 at peg 7. Next to Ballard, at Ash peg 5, Andy Bayliss- Kyte was a close third on 36-15-0.

          Dave Barnard nippe3d in to take 4^th with his 29-3-0 at Ash 3, ahead Maver's Sean Barber on 27-15-0 at Ash 18, and Steve Roberts wrapped things up with a Stock Pool best of 27-10-0.

 

          The open honours on Sunday went to Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) who caught carp to 5lbs and bream to 3lbs at Sycamore peg 33. Maggot, alternated between 6 metres and 10 metres helped Eric to net 41-3-0, to beat a trio of catches from the Chestnut Pool.

          Tim Kibble (Kings) had the best of these at 33-9-0, which consisted of carp to 4lbs and skimmers to 1lb, which were caught on maggot at 10 metres and close in at peg 17.

          Steve Swift (OBW) stepped up for third prize after scaling 29-8-0 at Chestnut 38 and Steve King (Kings) had 27-13-0 for 4^th at peg 14 to complete the week.
