BOLDINGS REPORT  12-12-12.

 

 

          With ice on most pools at Boldings the Monday and Thursday matches were called off, but the Wednesday open went ahead. It was a low scoring event by Boldings standards, and an Ash Pool best, from peg 16, of 29-11-0 handed victory to Ian Hughes [Drennan NW].

          The Beech provided the remaining frame catches, with three close weights filling the places. Second was claimed by Dave Grey [Ind] at peg 20, where he netted 23-9-0 to finish a couple of pounds in front of Mick Jameson [Mid Leisure]. He scaled 21-13-0 at peg 23 to squeeze into third, only one ounce ahead of Pete Ricketts [New Willenhall] on 31-12-0 at peg 16.

 

          The Boldings Fur & Feather match on Saturday attracted a record entry, with over 80 anglers lining the banks of the complex and vying for the festive prizes.

          Steve Roberts [Oakengates Angling Centre] was the main beneficiary of the day after he established a 10lbs advantage over the rest, by fishing maggot at 10 metres from peg 10 on the Beech Pool, where carp to 6lbs made up a match winning 63-1-0.

          Scott Doodson [Preston Innov] fished pellet at peg 1, on the dam wall of the Oak Pool to claim second place. He had carp in the 1lb to 4lbs range for a total of 53-11-0.

          Kevin Melville [Matrix Total Angling] had the top catch from the Sycamore, 49-5-0, to take home the third prize. Back on the Beech, Gareth Emlyn [Oakengates Ang Cent] weighed in 42-9-0 at peg 26 to put his name on 4^th. Adam Slade [Sedgeley] topped the Chestnut card with 39-11-0 and best on the Larch was Clive Wynn [Tricast Weston Pools] with 37-15-0.

 

          The Beech Pool gave the top weight again on Sunday, and it varied by just one ounce as Chris Holmes [Middle Severn Angling] scaled 63-0-0 at peg 3. Chris fished pellet and maggot at 10 metres and against the paddles, and like the Saturday winner, had carp to 6lbs.

          Round at peg 18 on the same pool Alun Jones [Deggys] had carp to 5lbs on pellet at 12 metres and close in to pick up second with 54-12-0. Less than a pound behind second was Mark Taylor [Shakespeare] who had an Ash Pool best of 53-14-0 from peg 16, and Oak peg 1 featured again, giving Craig Goldsmith [Maver Midlands] 51-4-0 for 4^th.
