Boldings report    10-5-17.

 

             The bank Holiday honours at Boldings Pools went to Jamie Langford [Preston Inno Boldings] by courtesy of 104-3-0 from peg 30 on the Sycamore Pool.  Pellet and maggot alternated between the 8 metre line and in the margins resulted in a net of carp to 7lbs, together with barbel and bream to 3lbs.

             Maggot and corn was the bait combo selected by Andy Williams [Vespe] to fish at 5 metres as well as close in at Sycamore 16. His tactics resulted in a bag of carp to 7lbs which gave a total of 89-15-0and second spot.  Dave Pritchard [PI Bold] claimed third by scaling 81-7-0 at peg 21, leaving Harry Colley [PI Bold]to take home fourth thanks to 74-5-0 from peg 13.

 

          It was on the Wednesday open that Dave Brown [Maver] set the best standard of the week, and he did it from the Ash Pool, which hit form again after playing second fiddle to the Beech recently. Dave drew peg 3, which he tackled with maggot, fished shallow, and down the side to make a terrific haul of carp to 6lbs totaling 167-14-0.

          Further along the same bank, Dave Doughty  [Wood End] operated with pellet and corn to net 100-12-0 of carp to 7lbs which made him the runner up. Third man Stuart Aston [Swan] was top of the Beech card with 85-13-0 at peg 7, while back on the Ash Bob Tromans [Fiery Holes] had 80-50 at peg 23.   

 

          Switching between 5 metres and 8 metres with pellet, maggot and corn at Willows peg 5 kept Matt Edgerton [Oakengates Angling Centre] one step ahead of the opposition on Thursday, by putting 107-15-0 of carp to 7lbs and barbel to 5lbs on the scales.

          Morgan Davidson [Monkhall] fell 17lbs short with his 90-15-0 of carp to 7lbs and bream to 3lbs, which he tempted with maggot, fished to each side of Sycamore peg 13. Back at Willows 16, Steve Owen [Monkhall] booked in 75-4-0 to fill third and a level 72 from Willows peg 9 put Dave Mortlock [PI Bold] into fourth.

 

                    Sycamore peg 21 came up with a winner for Ian Kull [Chestnut AC] on Saturday, responding to his close in corn approach to give a return of 131-7-0 of carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs.

          Jack O'Sullivan [Oak Ang Cent] was three pegs away at peg 24, and worked with maggot and corn which he offered at 5 metres and in the margins to bag 97-5-0 of carp to 7lbs. Morgan Davidson made the list again, his Chestnut best of 89-2-0 giving him third. Sycamore 13 gave fourth again, this time for Joe Brennan [PI Bold] who recorded 72-12-0 at the peg.

 

Gareth Emlyn [Oak Ang Cent] made Hawthorn peg 1 a winner on Sunday when his 90-2-0 from the peg outshone the weights on the Sycamore. Working along the sides with maggot put Gareth in touch with carp to 7lbs on his way to victory. 

Steve Roberts [Oak Ang Cent] used the same maggot tactics at Sycamore 21 to tempt carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs, which made up a total of 84-10-0, which fended off Graham Roberts [PI Bold] who had a level 83-0-0 at Sycamore 27. An even 72-0-0 from Sycamore 16 gave fourth to Shane Rogers [Oak Ang Cent].
