Boldings report

Boldings Report 28/1/09

 

          The gloomy weather reduced the programme at Boldings Pools to week-end matches only, with both opens giving a close frame.

          Saturday saw the better sport, with Dave Brown (Maver) scoring his second successive Saturday win by netting 40-3-0  at Beech peg 16. Dave had carp to 4lbs on pellet, fished at 16 metres.

          On the Larch Pool, Scott Doodson (Rod & Gun) also fished pellet at 16 metres and found a better stamp of fish, with specimens to 6lbs at peg 8, but was left needing one more fish when the whistle went, and he saw the scales settle at 37-10-0. Three pegs along from Scott, Matt Stobbs (R&G) had a level 37-0-0 for third at peg 5, and Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) scaled 28-11-0 at Larch 15 to claim 4^th.

 

          It was harder going on Sunday on the Chestnut and Sycamore pools and David Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) scored a narrow victory with 21 -11-0. Dave was on Chestnut peg 7, where maggot, fished on the 6 and 9 metre lines attracted carp to 4lbs to make up winning bag. Similar tactics worked for Carl Foster (OB Wolves) at peg 16 on the Sycamore, and he finished only 9 ounces short of the winner with a net of small carp and silver fish. Dave Hailey (OBW) was over on peg 33 on the Sycamore, where he put Beethoven’s 18-12-0 on the scales for third, and Dave Brown made the frame again with 15-3-0 for 4^th at Sycamore 18.

Boldings report

Boldings Report 21/1/09

 

          Dave brown (Maver) had the fish feeding well at peg 11 on the Stock Pool at Boldings on Saturday, to record the top catch of the week, beating the rest by a long way when he recorded 92-1-0. All of Dave’s fish, carp in the 1lb to 3lb class, came to maggot, fished against the stumps.

          Gary Morris (OB Wolves) also had feeding fish in front of him at peg 3 on the Hawthorn, and tempted 52-8-0 with corn at 5 metres and 9 metres, his catch featuring carp to 4lbs . Pete Plant (Maver) had the top catch on the Ash Pool, 39-0-0 to take third. Two Rod & Gun men followed Pete, with Dave Barnard 4^th on 33-5-0 at Hawthorn peg 11, and triple winner Matt Stobbs rounding things off with 31-4-0 at Stock peg 10.

 

          Stock peg 11 was also a winner in the week when Tony Foster (OB Wolves) drew it for the Wednesday open, and maggot fished to the stumps also did the trick on this match, with carp to 3lbs making up a top score of 39-11-0 for Tony on a raw day.

          Bob Tromans (Fiery Holes) fished into the corner at peg 5 on the Middle Pool, but couldn’t tempt the bigger carp, and finished with 23-1-0 of carp to 2lbs for second.

          Corner peg 1 on the Hawthorn  Pool gave Howard Williams (Weston Pools) third  when he put 17-11-0 on the scales, and 15-4-0 from Stock peg 7 saw Stuart Aston (Swan Jacks) pick up 4^th.

 

          Three different pools gave the top three weights again on Thursday, when the Chestnut came out top for Pete Tolley (OBW) and corn beat maggot as top bait. Pete was on peg 30 where he switched between 3 metres and 12 to net carp to 4lbs on his way to 33-12-0.

          Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) fished into the corner with maggot at peg 18 on the Sycamore to nick second by less an ounce with 22-3-0. Two of Saturdays ‘framers’ followed, with Dave Barnard getting ahead of Gary Morris this time. Dave had an Oak Pool best of 21-4-0 for third and Gary, at peg 37 on the Chestnut, had 20-12-0 for 4^th.

 

          On Sunday the Larch Pool took its turn at the top, providing Graham Roberts (OBW) with a 38-8-0 winner. Pellet was top bait this time, and carp to 8lbs responded  to Grahams offerings, on the 8 metre line at peg 5.

          John Francis (R& G) also fished pellet at 8 metres at the next peg to the winner, but a smaller stamp of fish left him 8lbs short at the finish when he scaled 30-9-0. Ed Turner (OBW) led the way on the Chestnut Pool to finish 3^rd on 24-13-0 at peg 21, while an Ash Pool best of 23-2-0 Gave Dave Hailey (OBW) 4^th.

Boldings report

Boldings Report 7/1/09

 

 

          It was hard going at Boldings on Saturday, with most pegs affected by thick ice, and only pegs close to the paddles could be used. Matt Stobbs (Rod & Gun) was looking to complete his hat trick of Saturday open wins, and did so with the most modest top score in memory at Boldings, 14-7-0. Matt fished 12 metres to the edge of the ice at peg 24 on the Larch, offering maggot to ease out carp to 2lbs.

          Jack Maddick (Wolverhampton) was on the opposite side of the Larch, at peg 5 and took an unexpected second with 9-12-0. Fellow Wolverhampton rod Tim Probert led the way on the Ash with 7-0-0 for third overall and a Beech best of 5-11-0 gave Andy Bayliss-Kyte (Maver) fourth.

 

          Things were a little easier as the thaw set in on Sunday and Kevin Melville (Dorset Pools) doubled the previous days weight to win with 28-0-0. He fished to the stumps at peg 11 on the Stock \Pool to take carp in the 1lb to 3lb bracket.

          On the Larch Pool Nigel Wardell (Swan Jacks Tackle) fished at 5 metres and 10 metres with maggot to find carp to 2lbs and roach to a pound for his second placed 19-0-0 at peg 15. Another pool best took third when Sam Rushden (Fox Match) put 16-0-0 on the scales at Deepdale peg 4, and Larch peg 5 featured again, with Steve Owen netting 10-6-0 for fourth.

Boldings report

Boldings Report 7/1/09

One of the last places to freeze up is Boldings, and the paddles did their work this week to allow a full match programme to go ahead, although some competitors did find the water icing over in front as they fished at times.

Wednesday was easily the best day, producing the top catch and a close finish between the top two. Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) added a victory on this one to the he had on Thursday last week, aided by one decent sized bonus fish. Pegged on Beech 16, Mick fished pellet and maggot at 12 metres for mostly small carp, in temperatures of minus 5c, with his bonus fish pushing his final figures to 45-4-0.

Dave Brown (Maver) was on Ash peg 7 where he also caught small carp (from 1lb to 3lbs) which he tempted with maggot fished at 14 to 16 metres. There were no bonus fish for him though, and he finished just one fish short of winning when he weighed in 53-12-0, for the first of an amazing run of three second places and a shared first in this weeks matches.

Third man Jamie Langford ((OB Wolves) was some way behind with a Hawthorn best of 20-8-0, and Dave Jones (Morgans Oswestry) picked up 4^th thanks to 18-4-0 from Hawthorn peg 1.

Thursday was the day Dave Brown got his shared top spot when he tied with Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun). Eric fished pellet and maggot at 12 metres on Ash peg 11 and Dave worked at 12 metres and 16 metres with maggot at Ash peg 6. Both finished with a level 31-0-0.

Dave Jones finished one place higher than he did the previous day, taking third this time with 25-1-0 from Ash peg 9.

Kelvin Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) made it two Saturday wins in a row when he pushed Dave Brown back down to second with 22-14-0 form peg 1 on the Middle Pool. Carp from 1lb to 3lbs responded to Kel’s maggot bait, fished to the paddles.

Dave fished long again, catching fish of a similar stamp to those of the winner to scale 20-14-0 at Deepdale peg 4.

Pete Plant (Maver) and Neil Turner (Wolverhampton) each scaled 15-13-0 to share third, Pete was on Ash 7 and Neil Stock peg 10.

Dave Jones (Morgans) framed for the third time on Sunday, finishing off the week with a winner when he netted 29-7-0 at Stock peg 2. Carp to 5 lbs found his maggot bait, fished at 12 metres to give him a nine pound advantage over guess who, Dave Brown. He was on peg 26 on the Larch, and took fish at 10 metres and 14 metres, with samples to 4lbs making up his 20-12-0. Pete Plant scored another third when he put 19-2-0 on scales at Stock peg 10 and Richard Lawson (WB Clarke) completed the weeks frames with 15-6-0 at Chestnut peg 1.
