Danny Boden [Oakengates Ang Cent] recoded the top weight of the week at Boldings Pools to win the Monday open from peg 36 on the Chestnut Pool. Feeding the 4 metre line with pellet brought in carp to 8 lbs and bream to 3lbs to snap up Danny’s hookbait, and at the end of the match a total of 99-7-0 had been netted.
Mitch Davidson [OAC] had to settle for second for the second Monday running, and for the second time his runner up catch was a pool best. He was on the Sycamore this time, scaling 89-3-0 at peg 21. Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] was only a whisker away from second on 88-7-0 at Sycamore 49, and not far behind him on 84-2-0 was Dave Craggs [Maver Midlands] at Chestnut 18.

Drawn peg 4 on the Ash, Tony opted for a shallow pellet attack, which resulted in carp to 7lbs making their way towards the weigh in, where they gave a total of 94-10-0.
Harry Colley [PI Bold] teamed meat and pellet to fish close in at Beech peg 7, and tempted carp to 9lbs with bream to 2lbs to end on 64-8-0 in second.
