Reliable peg 32 on the Chestnut Pool at Boldings lived up to its reputation on Monday when Chris Holmes [Middle Severn Angling] made it a winner. Working maggot to the bottom of the ledge, Chris enticed carp to 7lbs and barbel to 3lbs as he put together a top score of 88-8-0.

          Mick Keene [ABC] gave hot pursuit from peg 3 on the Ash, but fell short when the scales settled on 80-2-0. Mick caught carp to 6lbs on maggot and pellet, fished at 12 metres. Just along from Mick, at Ash peg 5, Owen Boswell [ABC] slipped into third by weighing 59-12-0 to hold off Graham Roberts [PI Boldings] on 51-10-0 at Chestnut 30.

 

          Andy Williams [Vespe] set the hottest pace of the week on Wednesday when the action switched to the Beech Pool. Andy was drawn on peg 18, where maggot on the 8 metre line attracted carp to 7lbs and bream to 2lbs, which helped him to ease away from the field, ending the match with an advantage of over 40lbs and a weight of 102-8-0.

          Clive Wynn [Tricast Weston ] fished at 8 metres and into the corner with maggot at peg 20 to net 61-12-0 of carp to 5lbs to share second spot  with Gary Morris [PI Bold]. Gary was on peg 23 and also had carp to 5lbs, which he tempted with pellet at 6 metres.

 

          Clive Wynn added a first place finish to his Wednesday runner up by bagging 77-3-0 of carp to 6lbs and bream to 2lbs at Sycamore peg 33 on Thursday. The catch came to pellet and maggot, worked on the 12 metre and 4 metre lines.

          Matt Stobbs [Oakengates Ang Cent] opted for the maggot feeder at Chestnut peg 10, a choice which put a second placed 70-14-0 of carp and bream on the scales. Chestnut 32 was a little off form for Dave Brown [Maver] and he had to settle for third with 54-2-0. Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] picked up fourth with his 48-7-0 from Sycamore 13.

 

              Sean Barber [Maver] made Ash peg 18 a winner of Saturday with a maggot and pellet approach.  Fished at 12 metres, the bait put Sean in touch with carp in the 6lbs class, which gave figures of 63-4-0at the end of the match.

Alun Jones [Tri West] operated at 12 metres with maggot at peg 15 on the Beech to find     51-1-0 of carp to 5lbs, which was enough to hold off Paul Hemmings [Monkhall] who finished on  49-11-0 at Beech peg 7. Pete Davidson [Oak Ang Cent] completed a trio of close weights with 47-3-0 from Beech 18.

 

          The awful weather forecast for Sunday failed to arrive and Kelvin Emlyn [Oak Ang Cent] made the most of respite to finish the week in winning fashion. Rotating between the 5 metre and 10 metre lines with maggot maintained the bite rate to keep carp to 7lbs coming to the net, for a final tally of 73-2-0.

          Last Sundays winner Andy Kyte [Middle Severn Angling] used pellet and maggot at 10 metres  out from peg 23 to net 67-11-0 of carp to 6lbs to finish second this time. Jack O'Sullivan [Oak Ang Cent] wasn't far behind with his 63-7-0 at peg 9, and just behind him, on 62-14-0 at peg 7 was Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent].
