Boldings report    21-2-17.

 

The Monday honours at Boldings Pools went to Matt Egerton [PI Boldings] who won from peg 14 on the Ash Pool. He combined pellet and maggot to attract carp to 5lbs onto the 13 metre line, fish which he used to put together a 39-13-0 winning net.

          Along the bank, at peg 18, Jeff Harston [Tricast Weston] also caught on pellet and maggot, but had a mixed bag of carp to 4lbs together with bream and roach to 2lbs which added up to 35-1-0. Third man Dave Doughty [PI Bold] was over on the other side of the pool at peg 5, where he weighed 27-11-0, which left Mick Jameson [PI Bold] to round off the frame with his 23-0-0 at peg 20.      

 

          Steve Owen [Monkhall] recorded the first of two wins in the week when he grabbed the glory on Wednesday from peg 18 on the Beech Pool. Rotating between corn at 13 metres and pellet at 7 metres held the attention of carp to 7lbs long enough for Steve to build his total catch to 68-11-0.

          Steve Hall [Oswestry] had to settle for second for the second Wednesday on the trot when he was left needing two more fish at Beech peg 5. He tempted his catch with maggot and pellet at 5 metres and down the side, with carp to 5lbs giving figures of 60-6-0. Third went to an Oak Pool best of 34-6-0 by Stuart Aston [Swan] at peg 13, with Mick Jameson picking up fourth again, as he finished one ounce behind on 35-5-0 at Beech 15.

 

          Three different pools gave the top three weights on Thursday, when Steve Owen recorded his second victory. This time he drew on the Sycamore Pool, and tackled peg 16 with corn at 12 metres, and close in to the bank. Carp to 7lbs latched onto the bait, and as the match progressed, Steve drew 20lbs clear of the field, ending the day on 73-7-0.

          Last Mondays winner Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] headed the list on the Chestnut Pool with a maggot and pellet based 52-0-0 of carp to 5lbs. Top man on the Willows Pool was Stephan Davies [Shrewsbury] who took third overall with his 40-12-0 from peg 9, and fourth also came from the Willows when Steve Roberts [Oakengates Ang Cent] scaled 33-6-0 at peg 17.     

 

          Saturday saw a slowdown in sport on the Beech Pool and 42-3-0 gave Jason Atwell [Kingswinford] an advantage of over 10lbs.  Staying on the 12 metre line, Jason presented pellet and maggot at peg 15 to lure in a mixed bag of carp to 4lbs, as well as bream and roach.

          At Beech 23 Russ Allen [Oswestry] had carp to 5lbs from close an out at 10 metres on maggot to finish second on 31-8-0. Oak peg 31 provided Gary Morris [PI Bold] with 30-6-0 for a close third, with 26-3-0 from Beech 32 giving fourth to Chris Newbrook [Oak Ang Cent].         

 

          The catch rate for Sunday winner Simon Christian [Sedgley] was anything but slow at Willows peg 9, where he had the fish in a voracious feeding mode by offering maggot and bread on the waggler.

Carp to 7lbs snapped up the bait and at the whistle Simon had a total of 114-10-0 to hand over to the scalesman.

          Around at Willows peg 16 Les Thompson [Matrix] found carp to 6lbs and barbel to 4lbs by using a pellet and maggot combination, which he fished at 13 metres and on the close in line. He couldn't keep up with the winner though and finished on 55-15-0 in second. Eric Bancroft was in the prizes again, picking up third thanks to the top catch from the Chestnut Pool, 52-8-0 from peg 30. Back on the Willows, at peg 14, Malcolm Fletcher [PI Bold] scaled 43-4-0 in fourth.

It was slow going for some in the cold and dank conditions in the Monday open at Boldings Pools, but Owen Boswell [ABC/Mosella] got carp and bream feeding to the tune of 45-0-0 at peg 7 on the Beech Pool. Maggot and pellet at 13 metres found fish to 4lbs and 2lbs respectively to give Owen a clear victory.

          Simon Richardson [Maver] had fish of a similar stamp on maggot at 12 metres from peg 23, opposite the winner, but his catch rate was a good deal slower, which left him some way off the pace on 23-3-0. Third went to Keith Powell [PI Boldings] at peg 5, where he netted 20-5-0.

 

Dave Brown [Maver] took over the top spot on Wednesday, winning from peg 18 on the Beech. Maggot and pellet did the trick again, and it was another mix of carp to 4lbs and bream to 2lbs which constituted the 32-6-0 which put Dave in charge.

          Second came from the Ash Pool when a net of carp to 4lbs, caught on maggot at 8 metres gave Mick Jameson [PI Bold] a return of 24-8-0 at peg 18. Nick Cooper [PI Bold] weighed in 22-10-0 at Beech 15 to finish third, and peg 7 was in the frame again with a fourth placed 19-13-0 for Phil Rhodes.      

 

          Stuart Aston [Swan] obliterated the opposition on Thursday with a weight approaching three times that of his nearest rivals. Pegged on number 10 on the Chestnut Pool, Stuart shunned the favourite bait of the moment, maggot, and bagged carp to 6lbs and bream to 3lbs using corn at 10 metres. A steady supply of fish helped to pass the 60lbs mark, to give a closing total was 62-11-0.

          On the other side of the pool, at peg 32, Tony Woolaston [Fatty's] had carp and bream to 3lbs and 2lbs on maggot at 12 metres to finish a distant second on 24-8-0. Three pegs along from the winner Terry Edwards [Swan Elite] was a close third on 23-6-0 at peg 13, and down at peg 7 Andy Jenkins [Swan Elite] finished within four ounces of third with his 23-2-0.

 

          Saturday saw maggot back at the top of the bait list when the low number pegs on the Chestnut again gave the best weights. Mat Stobbs [Oakengates Ang Cent] took full advantage of a draw in that area, to win with 50-12-0 from peg 5. Matt worked at 13 metres to snare carp to 6lbs as he put together his winner.

          Ken Humphries was along at peg 9 and had carp, roach and skimmers on maggot at 12 metres for a runner up 33-5-0. Peg 32 featured again, giving Steve Owen [Monkhall] 30-12-0 for third, while the Sycamore top catch of 21-10-0 from peg 33 gave fourth to Mark Stevens [Stevens Tackle].
