Boldings report

Boldings report    15-12-15.

 

Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] has been absent from the top of the Monday frame in recent months at Boldings Pools, but rectified the matter this week with a narrow win on the Sycamore Pool. He led the way from peg 50 with a mix of carp to 5lbs and some barbel to 4lbs, tempted with maggot presented at 5 metres. His bag of fish put him just 3 ounces in front of Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] at peg 13.

Eric used maggot to fish at 5 metres as well as on the close in line for an all carp 42-15-0, made up with fish to 4lbs. Terry R

Edwards [Swan Elite] was over on the long bank, at peg 39, where 40-13-0 put him in a close third, just ahead of Graham Roberts [PI Boldings] on 40-5-0 at peg 45.

 

Pete Tolley [PI Bold] made his bid for the top honours in the Wednesday open on the Sycamore with a corn based attack at point peg 13. Working the bait at 5 metres and to each side of the point, Pete found some better carp, with samples to 8lbs adding up to a match winning 47-4-0.

Maggot and corn at 5 metres and into the corner at peg 45 found the fish for Bob Tromans [Fiery Holes], but smaller fish, carp to 4lbs, left shy of the target on 40-5-0. At peg 48 Gary Morris [PI Bold] put his name on third with a net of 34-12-0, and 25-10-0 from peg 39 gave Harry Colley [PI Bold] fourth.

 

Weights were up on Thursday, especially on the Beech Pool, with Dave Brown [Maver] proving king of the day with a very creditable 80-14-0. He drew peg 18, which he tackled with maggot on the 12 metre pole to net carp to 4lbs.

          On Beech peg 23 Andy Jenkins [Ind] used maggot at 10 metres and 5 metres to pick off carp to 5lbs on his way to a 73-5-0 runner up weight. Third came from the Ash Pool, with Howard Williams [Tricast Weston] making the best catch, 57-13-0 at peg 7, which was followed by 54-11-0 from peg 18 by Jeff Harston [Wrexham].

 

A big turn out for the Boldings Fur & Feather on Saturday was met by some pretty awful weather and competitors were battered by rain and wind all day.

At the end of the day Andy Kyte [Middle Severn Angling] finished up the man with the most Christmas cheer after his bread punch on the tip, alternated with maggot on the pole at 8 metres put 87-9-0 of carp to 5lbs and barbel to 3lbs in the weigh net at peg 19 on the Willows Pool.

          Paul Wheeler [PI Bold] was top man on the Sycamore with his second overall 55-6-0 at peg 33. Paul caught on maggot at 12 metres and 5 metres, and his net featured carp to 6lbs. The best weight from the Ash gave Jack O’Sullivan [Oakengates Ang Cent] third on the day, his 47-8-0 coming from peg 3. Back on the Sycamore Andy Williams [Colmic Vespe] claimed fourth by scaling 42-3-0 at peg 48 and a Chestnut best of 40-14-0 gave Keith Powell [PI Bold] fifth.

 

Top weight of the week came on Sunday, when the weather had settled down, and Paul Roberts [PI Bold] found the fish were on a feeding spree at Chestnut peg 32, after the previous days rain.

The barbel in the Chestnut have put on a fair bit of weight this year and Paul proved this with over 80lbs of them in a winning net of 118-7-0. His maggot bait, fished at 13 metres, accounted for barbel to 5lbs and carp to 7lbs.

Runner up Dave Pritchard [PI Bold] also included barbel in his 61-2-0 from Sycamore peg 47, with samples to 4lbs joining carp to 5lbs in snapping up Dave’s maggot bait on the 12 metre and 5 metre lines. Graham Roberts framed for the second time, his third placed 58-7-0 coming from Chestnut peg 4. Back on the Sycamore Kel Emlyn [OAC] finished off the frame with 51-14-0 from peg 13.
