BOLDINGS REPORT  12/4/11.

 

          Average weights continue to climb at Boldings Pools, with the climax coming on the Sunday open when the top eight anglers all beat the 100lbs mark.

          The Monday match saw Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) and Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) occupy the same positions they held on Thursday last week, with Colin taking top spot and Eric second. It was corn in the side whish put Colin at the top of the Oak Pool list, with carp to 7lbs adding up to 86-15-0 at peg 18.

          Eric fished maggot in the side and pellet at 6 metres to net carp to 5lbs at peg 22, to scale 60-11-0. Richard Duke (R&G) had 55-13-0 for third at the end of the dam wall, leaving Harry Colley (OB Wolves) on 51-5-0 to pick up 4^th.

 

          Tony Foster (OBW) scored the first of two ton up wins when he collected the coin on Wednesday. Shallow fished pellet at Ash peg 3 had carp to 5lbs coming to the net from the 12 metre line to give a return of 105-12-0.

          Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) was on the opposite side of the Ash, on peg 18, where pellet fished long and shallow, as well as close in, put 86-7-0 on the scales for second.

          Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) led the catches on the Beech, finishing third overall with 62-2-0 at peg 5, and 59-7-0 from Beech 16 put Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) into 4^th.

 

          On Thursday Richard Duke improved on his third place on Monday, taking the top honours in style with the only frame weight to come from the Chestnut. Richard alternated fishing shallow in open water with fishing into the corner at peg 13, offering maggot to both swims. Carp to 8lbs obliged, and at the whistle there was a weight of 138-14-0 in the net.

          Mondays winner Colin Reynolds picked up second this time, with a corn and pellet based 95-4-0, which came from Sycamore peg 8. At corner peg 30 on the Sycamore, John Wild (Stafford) netted 86-12-0 for third and at Sycamore 21 Ed Turner (OBW) weighed 81-5-0 in 4^th.

 

          There was a big turn out on Saturday for the Scott Doodson 30^th Birthday bash, with anglers from far and wide helping Scott to celebrate reaching middle age !!.

          The match produced a tight finish, with only 6 ounces separating first and second places and less than 2lbs between the top three, who all topped 100lbs.

          Tony Foster (OBW) took the main prize of a long list by recording 110-0-0 at Beech peg 32, with all his fish, carp to 7lbs, coming to pellet and corn, fished in the margins.

          Dave Craggs (Maver) was on corner peg 50 on the Sycamore and had carp to 9lbs with bream to 3lbs on maggot, fished into the corner, for a weight of 109-10-0.

          John Wild collected another third when he put 108-2-0 in the weigh tub at Beech peg 5, and a Willows best of 99-14-0 gave Chris Hill (Maver) 4^th.

          After the weigh in, Scott joined the Mermaid Club, as part of the celebrations involved him being chucked into the water. Happy Birthday and congratulations Scott.
