BOLDINGS REPORT  2-1-13

 

          In the run up to Christmas Mick Jameson [Mid Leisure] featured in the frames of four matches with a full house of placings from first to fourth.

          Victory in the Monday affordable open went to Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] who included roach to a pound with carp to 4lbs in a net of 39-7-0. Pegged on the Hawthorn, at peg 9, Colin worked maggot on the pole at 10 metres.

          Second came from the Beech Pool when Godfrey Wood [Matrix Total Angling] put an even 24-0-0 on the scales at peg 16. His catch fell to maggot and pellet fished at 12 metres. Mick Jameson made the first of his four trips to the prize table with a third placed 23-13-0 from Hawthorn peg 3, leaving Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] to collect 4^th with his 17-11-0 from Beech 7.

 

          Mick Jameson enjoyed his best placing of the week on the Wednesday match, which he won from peg 25 on the Larch with a bag of carp in the 1lb to 3lb bracket. Mick attracted the fish with pellet at 12 metres and put together a 49-8-0 winner.

          At peg 32 on the Chestnut Ken Humphries [Oswestry] offered maggot and pellet at 8 metres to tempt carp to 3lbs and bream to 2lbs to finish second on 35-15-0. Round at peg 21 Clive Wynn [Tricast Weston Pools] scaled 21-11-0 for third, and back on the Larch Brian Clark [Matrix Colmic] had 19-1-0 in 4^th.

 

          Eric Bancroft improved on his Monday finish to take first prize on Thursday, when he was pegged on the Beech Pool again. This time he drew peg 14 and bagged 43-1-0 of carp to 4lbs and roach to 1lb using maggot, fished down the shelf.

          Gary Morris [PI Boldings] was best man on the Oak and second overall with 29-4-0 of carp to 3lbs on pellet at 6 metres from peg 26. Tony Foster [PI Bold] and Mick Jameson were evenly matched on adjacent pegs on the Beech, with Tony just edging third when he finished on 19-7-0 at peg 18, while Mick had 19-1-0 at peg 16.

 

          Andy Kyte [Maver Sonubaits] took over top spot on Saturday when maggot again proved to be the best bait. Fishing at 10 metres and in the margins at Ash peg 18 put 50-13-0 of carp to 4lbs in Andy’s  net. Just along the bank at peg 16, Mick Jameson completed his run with a runner up 43-1-0. He was followed by Keith Powell [PI Bold] whose 36-0-0 was the best from the Hawthorn, then back on the Ash Clive Wynn had another pick up when he scaled 33-14-0 at peg 18.

 

          Four different pools provided the top four weights on the Sunday before Christmas, with the Larch coming up trumps for New Willenhall rod Keith Miller, when he got the fish feeding on shallow pellet, fished on 16 metre pole at peg 15. With fish to 5lbs ready to have a go, Keith built a 52-14-0 best catch of the day.

          Colin Reynolds followed up his Monday winner with a runner up after he topped the Sycamore card from peg 8. Pellet and maggot fished at 8 metres and in the side at peg 8, put carp to 3lbs and bream to 2lbs in the net for 47-14-0. Third man Mark Skelton [Oakengates Ang Cent] led the way on the Chestnut with 46-13-0 from peg 28, and Beech peg 3 gave Dave Brown [Maver] 38-15-0 for 4^th.

 

          Matt Stobbs [Oak Ang Cent] made sure of a plentiful Christmas with victory on the Christmas Eve open. Pellet at 5 metres found carp to 4lbs to give a final tally of 39-6-0.

          Eric Bancroft made the frame again, taking second with a maggot based 35-11-0 from Ash 9.

          Opposite the winner on Ash 5, Danny Boden [Oak Ang Cent] had 32-15-0 for third ahead of fellow Oakengates rod Gareth Emlyn, who had a Beech best of 25-5-0 for 4^th.

 

          As Boxing day is also St Stephens Day, it was fitting that the open was won by someone called Stephen, in the shape of Steve Roberts [Oak Ang Cent] who worked off his Christmas dinner netting carp to 4lbs and barbel to 3lbs from peg 30 on the Chestnut. Steve’s fish came to maggot at 8 metres and close in.

          Gary Morris had his second runner up of the holiday period when he recorded a Beech best of 43-9-0, taken on pellet at peg 5. Colin Wozak [Matrix TA] claimed third with 36-11-0 from Chestnut 32 and at Chestnut 16, Colin Reynolds added a fourth to his list by scaling 35-7-0.

 

          Johnny Arthur [Maver Midlands] found Chestnut 30 to be still on winning form the day after Boxing Day, but had to go further out to find the fish, and offered maggot at 12 metres. Carp and barbel responded again to give figures of 66-12-0.

          Eric Bancroft picked up another second place, and was only one fish behind the winner with 63-8-0 at peg 32, where he had carp to 6lbs and bream to 2lbs on maggot.

          Dave Barnard [Rod & Gun] topped the Larch card with 52-11-0 to take third, and back on the Chestnut, 42-15-0 from peg 4 gave Dave Craggs {Maver Midlands] 4^th.
