BOLDINGS REPORT  16-4-13.

 

 

The average match weight continued to rise at Boldings Pools this week, with seven weights of over 100lbs recorded in the four matches.

With no Monday match Gary Morris [PI Boldings] started the ball rolling with a Wednesday ‘ton up’ victory from peg 21 on the Chestnut. Carp to 4lbs and barbel to 3lbs kept Gary busy as they hoovered up his pellet and corn, fished at 4 metres as well as in the margins, and at the finish he had 105-14-0 to hand over to the scales.

Round at peg 36 Graham Palmer [Fitters] also had carp and barbel, taking them on pellet, close in and at 5 metres, and while his carp were a little bigger, he was 22lbs short at the end, weighing in 83-2-0. Josh Humphries [ABC] made the frame with a Larch pool top weight of 72-14-0, which put him into third overall, and at chestnut 13 Carl Foster [PI Bold] wrapped things up on a very windy day with 69-6-0 for fourth.

 

The windswept Thursday match went the way of Gary Gollins [Swan Elite] as he fished pellet at 6 metres and across to the far bank at peg 31 on the Oak, to keep in touch with carp in the 1lb to 3lb range, for a finishing total of 75-0-0.

Howard Williams [Tricast Weston] fished along the dam wall and into the corner at Oak 5, using pellet to tempt 63-7-0 of carp to 5lbs. Up by the island at peg 22 Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] was close behind the runner up with 62-13-0, and close behind him was Josh Humphries with another pool best, this time from the Beech, where he weighed 62-6-0.

 

The week-end brought a dramatic increase in the weights, and the Saturday match gave an all ton top four, headed by Howard Williams, who stepped up from second place on Thursday to take victory from peg 13 on the Sycamore. Fishing down the shelf with pellet found carp to 8lbs, accompanied by barbel to 3lbs, and Howard needed every one of the fish he landed, as his 109-1-0 gave him only 1lb to spare.

The man in hot pursuit was Roy Rigby [Dorset AC] who was on the end bank of the Sycamore at peg 46, and mixed bream to 3lbs with carp to 7lbs for a level 108-0-0. Roy had his fish on pellet down the side and at 5 metres. At peg 8 Keith Powell [PI Bold] was only a pound and quarter off second when he scaled 106-12-0, and fourth placed Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] was only one behind third, and one fish behind first with 106-11-0 at peg 39.

 

The Willows Pool gave the top catch of the week again, a superb 151-3-0, which was hammered out by Dave Hailey [PI Bold] at peg 18. Shallow fished pellet got the fish going for Dave, with ghosties to 5lbs making up the bulk of his catch.

Frame regular Colin Wozek [Matrix Total Angling] also caught well, opposite the winner at peg 4, and he too used shallow pellet, to put 139-7-0 of carp to 6lbs on the scales to pick up second.

Third man Jamie Longford [Maver Midlands] had top score on the Ash Pool, 97-12-0, which came form peg 7, and at peg 14 on the Ash, Eric Bancroft was in the list again, scaling 95-1-0.
