BOLDINGS REPORT
The Monday match gave the top catch of the week again at Boldings Pools and Harry Colley (Preston Innovations Boldings) got back to winnings ways. He was drawn on corner peg 40 on the Chestnut and plundered the peg to the tune of 142-11-0 by fishing meat and maggot down the side.

In between the top two, at peg 34 Graham Evason (PI Bold) netted 73-1-0 for third and on the opposite bank Bob Tromans (Fiery Holes) had 69-1-0 at peg 4.
Brian Travis (Maver Total Angling) was just one fish short of a ton up win on Wednesday with the scales settling at 98-2-0. Having pulled Hawthorn peg 13 from the bag, Brian tackled it with a shallow pellet approach for a haul of carp to 5lbs.
