Boldings report    21-12-16.

 

 

          Dave Lloyd [Maver] ignored the margins at peg 13 on the Sycamore Pool at Boldings Pools on Wednesday, concentrating his efforts instead on the 10 metre line, a move which paid off with a 53-6-0 winning bag. Carp to 7lbs and bream to 2lbs made up the catch, which was taken on pellet.

          Jason Atwell [Kingswinford] combined pellet and maggot to alternate between 6 metres and 10 metres       at peg 33 on the Sycamore, and had carp in the 5lb bracket which gave him 44-10-0 for second place. Peg 8 on the same pool provided Tim Kibble [Swan] with 37-4-0 for third, while a Beech Pool top catch of 31-15-0 put Tim Probert [PI Boldings] into fourth.

 

          Thursday honours went to Swan Elite rod Terry Edwards after he drew Chestnut peg 30. Maggot at 6 metres put carp to 6lbs on the scales for a total of 50-10-0.

          Dave Brown [Maver] used his winter standby combination of bread and maggot to entice 42-10-0 of carp to 5lbs and bream to 2lbs from peg 46 on the Sycamore to fill second spot. Nathan Spain [Shrewsbury] headed the Willows Pool card to finish in third overall, his 41-12-0 coming from peg 19. Back on the Chestnut Andy Jenkins [Pool Hayes] picked up fourth with his 39-14-0 from peg 7. 

 

          Two pegs on the Willows Pool gave the top two weights in the first round of the Boldings Individual Winter League on Saturday.

          First round winner Ken Humphreys [Oswestry] was in the corner at peg 22 and eased 12lbs clear of a close battle for second place by netting carp to 7lbs, which took his maggot bait, offered at 10 metres. At the whistle Ken had 67-8-0 for his victory.

          Along at peg 16 Les Thompson [Matrix] just squeezed into second by handing 52-12-0 of carp to 6lbs to the scalesman, to hold off Gary Gollins [Swan] who topped the list on the Ash Pool with 55-10-0. Steve Roberts [Oak Ang Cent] was best on the Sycamore, his fourth overall 51-9-0 coming from peg 33.
