Boldings report    2-8-17.

Dave Doughty [PI Boldings] was in a class of his own at Boldings Pools on Wednesday and ended the day with double the weight of anyone else. Dave drew peg 21 on the Chestnut Pool and had the carp and bream feeding well on corn in the margins. Samples to 7lbs and 3lbs added up to 133-10-0 when the scales arrived.                                                                                                                 Graham Lewis [Dawley] combined pellet and corn to fish at 4 metres and down the side at peg 30, but couldn't get the fish going like the winner, and finished with 65-3-0 in second. Over on peg 10 Tony Foster [PI Bold] picked up third by scaling 51-10-0 and opposite him Ralph Johnson [PI Bold] completed the frame with 43-12-0.

Things were more even on Thursday, although match winner Paul Evans [PI Bold] did give himself  a 14lb buffer between him and a close battle for the rest of the places.                                                                                                                                        Paul was on Sycamore peg 48, where caster, down the shelf attracted carp to 7lbs and bream to 3lbs, which added up to 139-4-0.                                                      

Matt Edgerton [Oakengates Ang Cent] went for a pellet approach at point peg 13, working the bait to each side to pick off carp to 8lbs and barbel to 4lbs to scrape in front of Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] who was on the point, peg 8. Matt finished on 125-7-0, and Colin on a level 125-0-0. Fourth went to an Oak Pool best of 120-7-0 from Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] at peg 22.

 

Colin Reynolds moved to the top of the list on Saturday, when he drew the same peg which gave him third in the week, Sycamore 8. The pool was in a much more subdued mood for this match and Colin needed less than half his mid week weight to win. Pellet at 4 metres and in the sides put 60-13-0 on the scales for the victory.     

Les Thompson [Matrix] worked pellet at 12 metres and close in at peg 18 to net a runner up 54-11-0 of carp to 5lbs. Steve Owen [Monkhall] was a fish behind with his 5213-0 at peg 44. Mick Foan [Rod & Gun] finished things off by scaling 40-5-0 at peg 42.     

                    Eric Bancroft followed the example of Colin Reynolds to convert his mid week fourth to a Sunday first, and he did it with the best weight of the week, 181-11-0. Fishing paste to each side of Chestnut peg 21 saw Eric netting carp and bream, with fish to 8lbs and 3lbs making up the catch.

          Jack O'Sullivan [O'gates Ang Cent] included carp, barbel and bream in his pellet based runner up 136-0-0 at peg 26. Up at peg 4 91-11-0 gave third to Adam Jones [Willenhall] with Kelvin Emlyn [O'gates Ang Cent] fourth at peg 32 where he weighed 86-11-0.
