BOLDINGS REPORT  29/3/11.

 

          Alan Jones (Deggys) had top weight of the week at Boldings with the best of a trio of 100lbs plus winners. He drew peg 13 on the Sycamore on Thursday, the peg which produced a winner to paste last week-end, and Alan Put the bait to the test again, a test it passed with flying colours to the tune of 139-13-0. Fishing at 5 metres and in the side picked out carp to 8lbs for the Deggys rod.

          Gary Morris was just short of the ton at Sycamore 37, his pellet at 10 metres and close in, producing carp to 7lbs and bream to 4lbs for a total of 99-10-0. Dave Barnard (Rod & Gun) finished a fish behind Gary with 94-3-0 at Sycamore 33, with last weeks double winner Andy Williams (Vespe) 4^th with a Chestnut top score of 89-3-0.

 

          Ian Hughes (Drennan NW) started the weeks proceedings with a win on Monday when the back pools were used. Ian won from Middle Pool peg 1, using shallow pellet at 10 metres to net 90-8-0 of carp to 5lbs.

          Last Mondays winner Kevin Melville Maver (Total Angling) picked up second with a Deepdale top score of 62-0-0, which consisted of carp to 5lbs, together with skimmers, caught on pellet at 6metres at peg 6. Russ Allen (Oswestry) had 60-3-0 from Middle 3 for third and Kev Smith (Telford) was 4^th on 46-12-0 at Deepdale 4.

 

          Tony Foster (OB Wolves) headed the card on Wednesday, taking the lead at peg 48 on the Sycamore, where pellet at 6 metres and in the edge found carp to 6lbs and bream to 2lbs to give figures of 92-12-0.

          Andy Williams was a close second with top weight from the Chestnut, 89-1-0, which fell to bread flake, fished at 12 metres.

Third went to Stafford rod John Wild when he scaled 74-3-0 at Sycamore 13, and back on the Chestnut Gary Morris (OBW) had 73-15-0 at peg 8 for 4^th.

 

          Jason Elwell (Pro-Line Wednesfield) was the second of the ton up winners when he posted 101-12-0 to win on Saturday. He was on peg 16 on the Larch, and found all his fish with maggot fished in the side, and included samples to 8lbs in his net.

          Dave Craggs (Maver) was on the next peg, larch 15, and used the same tactics, but couldn’t keep up with Elwell, falling 23lbs short on 78-2-0 at the whistle.

          Andy Williams was in the frame for the third time with yet another pool best, leading the way on the Chestnut again, this time with 70-11-0 at peg 30. Fourth man Ralph Johnson Bilston Ang Cent) was also on the Chestnut and had 57-1-0. Best on the Sycamore was Dave Barnard (Rod & Gun) on 56-7-0.

 

          Sunday saw two weights over 100lbs, both from the Willows Pool. John Francis (R&G) had the best one, 116-4-0, which came to pellet at 4 metres and 6 metres, and was made up with carp to 6lbs and barbel to 1lb.

          Tim Probert (OBW) had carp to 7lbs and barbel to 1lb, also on pellet, which he fished at 10 metres and in the margins, to weigh 105-6-0.

          Ralph Johnson framed again, taking third with another Willows catch, 89-1-0, while fourth man Paul Mossman (Stockton) had his 74-2-0 from the Chestnut.

Boldings report

 

 

BOLDINGS REPORT  22/3/11.

 

          Weights continued to climb at Boldings Pools this week, with three matches being won with ton up catches, two of which fell to Andy Williams (Vespe).

          The week started with another victory for (Kevin Melville (Maver Total Angling) when the Monday match was staged on the Oak Pool. Kev drew peg 18, where pellet fished at 10 metres and in the side put 53-13-0 of carp to 6lbs on the scales.

          Up at the other end of the pool Ed Turner (OB Wolves) worked pellet at 5 metres and in the side at peg 5 to find carp to 7lbs for 49-6-0 to pick up second, ahead of Gary Morris (OBW) on 45-8-0 at peg 24 and Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) on 38-12-0.

 

          Brian Clarke (Maver) made his way to the top of the list on Wednesday, winning from peg 7 on the Ash Pool with a pellet based 68-1-0. Brian made contact with carp to 6lbs and skimmers to 1lb, fishing at 10 metres and close in.

          Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) followed up four frame places last week with another two this week, starting with second spot on this match, not far behind the winner on 66-15-0 at Ash 14. He also caught on pellet, offering the bait at 12 metres as well as close in.

          Ian Hughes (Drennan NW) had top weight from the beech to claim third with 63-1-0 at peg 5 and at Beech 7 Carl Foster had 62-15-0 for 4^th.

 

          Thursday saw Andy Williams post the best weight of the week, 134-11-0, which came to bread, fished shallow at 13metres, and maggot in the side, with carp to 8lbs featuring at Chestnut peg 18.

          Mick Jameson finished second again, some distance adrift this time, when he put 73-13-0 on the scales at Chestnut 23, having caught carp to 3lbs on pellet, fished to the island.

          Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) led the catches on the Willows Pool, taking 65-12-0 from peg 13 to finish third overall, only just ahead of Alan Jones (Deggys) on 65-8-0 at Willows 8.

 

          Andy was top man again on Saturday, this time from the Larch Pool, where the tactics which did him proud on Thursday worked a treat again. Carp to 9lbs responded this time for a final weight of 120-11-0 at peg 15.

          Eric Bancroft moved up a place from Thursday, taking second with a Sycamore top score of 98-9-0 at peg 33. Pellet, both close in and at 10 metres accounted for carp to 7lbs and bream to 3lbs.

          There was a bit of a drop to the third weight, which was taken by Josh Humphries (ABC / Oswestry) who recorded 55-9-0 at Sycamore 47. Mondays winner Kevin Melville picked up fourth with a Willows best of 53-14-0, which was just 2 ounces ahead of a Chestnut best of 53-12-0 by Keith Powell (OBW).

 

          Jason Elwell (Pro Star Wednesbury) became the third winner of the week to record over 100lbs when he took the honours on Sunday with the first paste based top catch of the year.

          Drawn 13 on the Sycamore, Jason offered his paste at 4 metres, and in the margins to net carp to 9lbs on his way to 113-10-0.

          Dave Hailey (OBW) fished at 6  metres and close in with pellet for 82-14-0 at Sycamore 49 to fill the runner up spot. Eric Bancroft had his third pick up of the week thanks to 71-12-0 from Sycamore 21, and an Oak best of 70-6-0 gave Sean Barber (Maver Sonubaits) 4^th.

Boldings report

 

 

BOLDINGS REPORT  15/3/11.

 

          Having finished second on Monday last week, Gary Morris (OB Wolves) finished some way ahead of the rest on the Sycamore Pool on Monday this week at Boldings Pools. He was on corner peg 6 and had a haul of 81-7-0 to more than double the runner up weight.

          That came from Kevin Melville (Maver Total Angling) who moved up from third last Monday to claim second with 36-12-0 at another corner peg, 16. At peg 47 Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) had 27-9-0 for third and Godfrey Wood (Total Angling) had 19-13-0 at peg 1 for 4^th.

 

          Carl Foster (OBW) staked his claim to the winners purse on Wednesday by bagging 80-2-0 of carp to 6lbs fishing pellet at 4 metres and in the side at peg 30 on the Chestnut.

          Ian Hughes (Drennan NW) fished to the island and close in with pellet at peg 23 and had over 80 small carp for 70-8-0 to take second. Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) scaled 59-2-0 for third at peg 36. Over on the Middle Pool Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) had top weight for the first of three frame appearances, picking up 4^th with 53-11-0.

 

          Mick Jameson moved up to first place on Thursday when he recorded the top weight of the week. Pegged on the Oak Pool at peg 29, he was kept busy fishing pellet at 10 metres catching carp from 1lb to 3lbs and barbel to 1lb, which gave a total of 84-12-0.

          Alan Jones (Deggys)  headed the Chestnut list to finish second overall, having caught carp to 6lbs and bream to 2lbs on pellet fished at 3 metres and 8 metres, for a final weight of 77-14-0 at peg 32. Third went to Dave Matson (Rod & Gun) at Oak peg 8 where he scaled 71-5-0 and at Chestnut 30, Pete Ricketts framed again when a level 67-0-0 gave him 4^th.

 

          Dave Craggs (Maver) was the first of the week-end winners when he posted 66-0-0 on the Saturday match. Pegged 21 on the Chestnut, he fished in the margins with maggot to pick off mostly small carp, assisted by the occasional bonus fish of around 4lbs.

          Behind the winner there was a scramble for the remaining places, with only 4lbs between 2^nd and sixth weights. Mick Jameson put in his third appearance when grabbed second with a Sycamore best of 43-0-0 at peg 16, seven ounces behind second was Dave Matson (R&G) on 42-9-0 at Chestnut 30 and Kevin Melville was there again, taking 4^th with 41-3-0 from Chestnut 17.

 

          Mick Jameson registered his second win of the week by topping the Sunday card by a narrow margin. He was on Chestnut 32 and alternated between fishing at 10 metres and close with pellet. Carp to 7lbs and barbel to 1lb obliged for a final tally of 61-5-0, just enough to hold off Eric Bancroft (R&G) who was on Willows peg 17. He caught at 12 metres, bagging carp to 5lbs using pellet, to scale 60-8-0.

          At Willows peg 5 John Francis (R&G) netted 58-1-0 to pick up third and just behind him, Kev Sudlow (Oswestry) had 57-6-0 at Chestnut 21 for 4^th.
