Bob Tromans [Fiery Holes] kicked the week off at Boldings Pools with a big weight winner on the Beech Pool by knocking out carp to 5lbs and bream to 2lbs, using pellet in the side at corner peg 11. As the match progressed he eased 30lbs ahead of the opposition, finishing the day on 132-9-0.
Round at peg 32 Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] had bigger carp, with samples to 7lbs, with bream to 2lbs, on a combination of pellet and maggot, but a slower catch rate left him on 101-5-0 at the whistle. Kevin Melville [Matrix] and Jason Nichols [PI Boldings] shared third when they each scaled 87-12-0, Kev at peg 7 and Jason at peg 9.
Kevin Melville moved up to top spot on a slightly subdued Larch Pool on Wednesday. Pellet and corn, fished down the side and at 5 metres found carp to 5lbs and bream to 2lbs which added up to 79-14-0.
Andy Sherwood [PI Bold] also worked pellet and corn at peg 1, to take fish from close in and out at 10 metres. His mix of carp to 6lbs and bream to 2lbs gave a return of 62-9-0. Bob Tromans was on the card again, filling third with 58-3-0 from peg 24, with fourth going to 50-13-0 by Mick Jameson [PI Bold] at peg 4.
Terry Edwards [Swan Elite] converted a second last Thursday to a first this week after he pulled Sycamore 16 from the drawbag. Switching between the 10 metre line and fishing the margins, Terry kept enough carp to 7lbs and bream to 2lbs coming to the net to hold off a strong challenge from Ken Humphries [Oswestry]. Ken was on Sycamore peg 50 catching carp to 7lbs and barbel to 3lbs on maggot, and at the finish there was only one fish difference between the weights as Terry recorded 119-5-0 to Kens 112-0-0.
Third went to Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] who was close behind on 107-6-0 at Sycamore 24, and Eric Bancroft was in the frame again with a Chestnut best of 92-10-0 for fourth.
Dave Brown [Maver] has had a couple of near misses lately, but made no mistake in scoring a week-end double, and recording the top weight of the week.
Saturday saw Dave in action on the Willows Pool, using his shallow fished maggot and caster to net 118-12-0 of carp to 6lbs at peg 19.
That was a little too good for Jamie Langford [Wolves] who finished second with the best of three close weights. He was on Willows peg 13 and fished pellet waggler to net 105-11-0 of carp to 7lbs. Colin Reynolds made the frame again, finishing only two ounces behind second with a Larch Pool best of 105-9-0, and back on the Willows Morgan Davidson [Oakengates Ang Cent] scaled 103-9-0 for fourth at peg 4.
The Chestnut Pool really hit form on Sunday to give a fame average of over 150lbs per rod, and with carp in the 7lbs bracket making up dave Browns big total of 186-5-0, he was only two fish short of recording 200lbs. Shallow maggot and caster worked again to put dave in charge at peg 36.
Colin Wozek [Matrix] caught well on shallow pellet at peg 1 to put 164-6-0 of carp to 6lbs on the scales in second place. Matt Prosser [PI Bold] nipped into third at peg 10 when his 132-13-0 pipped the 132-9-0 by Rob Lloyd [Maver] at peg 23.
