BOLDINGS REPORT 30-5-12.
Bob Tromans (Fiery Holes) converted a 4th last Monday at Boldings Pools to a first this week with a big weight winner. Ash peg 9 has been going well lately and did so again when Bob drew it, and worked pellet and corn down the side to net 144-2-0 of carp to 8lbs.
Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) used the shallow pellet method at peg 11 on the Hawthorn and carp to 6lbs in a net of 102-13-0. Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) made it three different pools in the top three places by recording 102-4-0 for third at Beech 16, and the winner of the Preston Innovations angler of the month for May, Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) took 4th with 95-14-0 from Ash 23.
Nine was the winning number again on Wednesday, this time on the Hawthorn Pool, which produced the top catch of the week for Dave Lloyd (Maver Midlands). Pellet to the island, and close in found carp to 7lbs eager to have a go and Dave built a 150-8-0 total.
Clive Wynn (Tricast Weston) was in the corner at peg 1 on the Hawthorn where he had fish from the paddles, and into the bank, with carp to 8lbs giving figures of 115-3-0. Alan Jones (Deggys) had a Stock Pool top score of 98-13-0 for third and a Middle best of 87-15-0 put Rob Morris (Wolves) into 4th spot.
Point peg 13 on the Sycamore came good on Thursday for Paul Ferguson (PI Boldings) when corn, fished to each side of the peg resulted in carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs sliding into the net to give a return of 103-1-0.
Second man Graham Roberts (PI Bold) had his fish, carp to 6lbs and barbel to 2lbs, on pellet, fished into the corner at Sycamore peg 4, but he was well behind the winner on 60-7-0 when whistle went. Only one ounce behind second with a Chestnut top weight of 60-6-0 was Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) at peg 21, and 4th also came from the Chestnut when Ed Turner (PI Bold) scaled 57-7-0 at peg 13.
Pete Plant (Maver) made it four different pools giving the top weights when Willows peg 2 yielded 107-12-0 to his shallow caster approach on Saturday. Carp in the 1lb to 3lb bracket, and barbel to 2.5lbs made up the catch for Pete.
John Francis (Rod & Gun) included roach to a pound with carp to 7lbs in his 87-6-0 runner up at Larch peg 1. Back on the Willows, at peg 8 Paul Postin (
Sycamore 13 gave its second winner of the week on Sunday, with Jeff Harston (Wrexham) the beneficiary this time. His decision to fish bread proved a wise one when carp to 9lbs came from each side of the peg for a final tally of 121-10-0.
Over to Jeff’s left, at peg 21 Shane Rogers (Oakengates Ang Cent) worked shallow caster at 10 metres and down the edge for 99-9-0 of carp to 7lbs and barbel to 2lbs.
