Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) converted a third on last Mondays open at Boldings to a first this week. With autumn leaves and temperatures having an effect on weights, Phil won with 50-2-0 from Larch peg16, where pellet at 6 metres found carp to 5lbs.
On peg 19 last weeks winner Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) offered pellet down the ledge to contact carp to 6lbs but needed a couple more fish when the whistle sounded, and he had to settle for second with 43-13-0.
There was only four ounces between third and fourth when Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) weighed 35-5-0 at peg 5 and Keith Powell (Preston Innov Boldings) had 35-1-0 at peg 25.
Ian Hughes (Drennan NW) won for the second Wednesday on the trot after he drew peg 13 on the Sycamore this week. Going out to 14 metres from the point with maggot did the trick, putting 61-10-0 of carp to 6lbs on the scales, to almost double the runner up weight.
That came from Mark Foster (PI Bold) at peg 47, where carp from 1lb to 4lbs, together with skimmers to 2lbs added up to 33-6-0.
Tony Foster (PI Bold) followed Mark, scaling
John Wild (
At peg 21 on the Chestnut there was more success for Tony Foster who finished second this time by taking a mixture of carp to 5lbs and barbel to 2lbs for 65-8-0.
Keith Powell also made the frame again, sharing an Oak best of 57-12-0 with Ted Ecclestone (
The Beech Pool provided Gary Morris (PI Bold) with a winner on Saturday when his pellet, fished at 6 metres netted him 72-11-0 of carp to 6lbs.
A chestnut best of 55-13-0 at Peg 36 gave Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) second. He caught carp and skimmers on pellet, close in and at 6 metres.
46-10-0 at Chestnut 9 put Sean Barber (Maver Sonubaits) into third and Keith Powell enjoyed his third trip to the prize table thanks to an Ash Pool best of 42-14-0.
The Sunday open on the Sycamore saw Mitch Davidson (Oak Ang Cent) top the card from peg 6, not a peg which has featured very often at the top of the frame. Mitch pulled clear of the field with a pellet and maggot approach at 10 metres which attracted carp to 7lbs to give a final total of 70-1-0.
Fellow OAC rod Alan Naylor had carp to 6lbs at 6metes and 8 metres on the same bait combination as Mitch to finish on a level 53-0-0 in second at peg 45. Gary Morris followed up his previous days winner with a third place when he weighed 46-14-0 at peg 34, with Phil Rhodes (PI Bold) finishing things off with 45-4-0 at peg 31.
