Boldings report 15-6-16.
Another week at Boldings Pools brought another double win, and yet another top weight of the week for Maver ace Dave Brown.
His two wins came from each end of the week, and the top weight came at the start, with victory in the Wednesday open in which he almost trebled the runner up weight. Caster fished shallow and to each side of peg 17 on the Chestnut Pool had carp to 8lbs and barbel to 3lbs feeding, and a steady supply of them built into a formidable advantage with a final total of 149-8-0.
The rest of the frame catches all came from the Larch Pool, with Tony Foster [PI Boldings] filling second at peg 21. Carp to 5lbs made up his 53-0-0, which came to pellet at 6 metres. Up at peg 4 Bob Tromans [Fiery Hoes] just got home in third when he weighed in 48-9-0, finishing less than a pound in front of Graham Palmer [Fitters] on 47-10-0 at peg 1.
Graham Roberts [PI Bold] took on the winners mantle on Thursday, winning from peg 8 on the Willows Pool. Feeding caster to each side of the point had carp to 6lbs accompanying barbel to 4lbs in Graham's net to give a 121-3-0 winner.
Second came from the Sycamore when Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] handed over 102-12-0 to the scales at peg 33. Colin caught carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs on corn and pellet, offered at 5 metres and close to the side. Back on the Willows, Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] was one decent fish behind with his 96-7-0 from peg 13, and up in the corner Alan Naylor [Oakengates Ang Cent] had 93-0-0 to take 4th at peg 22.
Willows peg 8 came up with another winner on Saturday, but Mark Skelton [Oak Ang Cent] had to use different tactics to net a similar weight. He fished across to the far bank with maggot to record 123-9-0, which included carp to 7lbs with barbel to 4lbs.
Peg 22 was in the mix again too, providing 94-14-0 for Adam Jones [WMAC] who had ghosties to 7lbs and barbel to 4lbs on pellet, fished to the far bank and close in. A Sycamore top score of 87-4-0 from peg 13 put Andy Kyte [Middle Severn Angling] into third, and 78-1-0 from Sycamore 50 put Colin Reynolds into the prize list again.
Dave Brown picked up his second winners purse on Sunday, when caster proved to be king again. Dave worked the bait at 5 metres and to each side of peg 13 on the Sycamore to pick off carp to 8 lbs and barbel to 3lbs on his way to 113-9-0.
Maggot and corn presented to each side of Sycamore 45 resulted in a net of carp to 7lbs and bream to 3lbs which gave Andy Williams [Colmic Vespe] 84-7-0 and second. Graham Palmer framed again, his 78-13-0 for third coming from peg 45, and just behind him was Chris Holmes [Mid Sev Ang] on 77-4-0 at peg 22.
