 Boldings report    8-6-16.

 

Andy Williams [Colmic Vespe] who top weighted at Boldings last week began this weeks matches with a win on the Wednesday open, in which he drew peg 20 on the Beech, where he recorded 95-9-0. The catch consisted of carp in the 7lbs range, all of which Andy enticed with maggot and corn, presented close to the bank on each side of the peg.

          Runner up Harry Colley [PI Boldings] was positioned almost opposite the winner at peg 20 and elected to work meat and pellet down the sides of the peg. The ploy brought in bigger fish, but not enough of them, leaving Harry 11lbs shy of the target on 84-10-0. Third and fourth came from the Ash Pool, with Graham Palmer [PI Bold] putting his name on third by weighing in 80-7-0 at peg 7, while Clive Wynn [Tricast Weston] had 67-6-0 at peg 9.

 

          With the fish in spawning mode weights were expectedly down on last weeks high levels, but not too much, and 83-2-0 from Chestnut peg 36 gave Phil Rhodes [PI Bold] only a narrow victory on Thursday. Using the pole at 5 metres to offer corn and pellet, Phil made contact with carp to 7lbs and bream to 2lbs.

          Dave Brown [Maver] has been a frame fixture for several weeks now, and made the first of two visits to the prize table this week when he finished one fish behind the winner. Drawn peg 4 on the Sycamore, Dave worked with caster to fish shallow in open water, as well as into the corner. His 80-1-0 final tally was made up with carp to 7lbs and barbel to 3lbs. Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] was one more fish behind at Sycamore peg 13 where he scaled 78-12-0, and Mick Jameson [PI Bold] kept things tight when he weighed 74-12-0 at Sycamore 24.

 

          Dave Brown moved up to first place on Saturday, and having been pipped to top weight of the week last week, he reclaimed the honour this week by recording 99-13-0 at peg 22 on the Sycamore. A change to maggot bait had carp to 6lbs, with bream and barbel to 4lbs feeding on the 6 metre line to give Dave a 20lb winning margin.

          Last Saturday's winner Andy Kyte [Middle Severn Angling] filled second with the best return from the Larch Pool, 79-4-0. He was on peg 28 and had carp to 6lbs on pellet and maggot, fished shallow, and down the side. Third came from Sycamore peg 8 where Chris Lloyd [Maver] netted 72-12-0 to hold off Steve Hall [Oswestry] on 70-11-0 at Sycamore 16.
