Newton bags a win as carp fill the net

The bigger carp are beginning to show more consistently at Boldings Pools, and even though it was cold and wet on Saturday, the top four catches in the open gave an average weight of over 70lbs per man.The bigger carp are beginning to show more consistently at Boldings Pools, and even though it was cold and wet on Saturday, the top four catches in the open gave an average weight of over 70lbs per man. The Chestnut pool proved to be slightly better than the Sycamore, filling the top two places, and providing match winner John Newton (WB Clarke) with the best catch of the week. John drew peg 14 on the Chestnut, and netted carp to 7lbs by offering maggot in the margins. When the scales arrived, he had 74-3-0 in the keepnet, which was just enough to put him ahead of Matt Stobbs (Rod & Gun). Matt was on the other side of the Chestnut, at peg 38, and he too caught close in on maggot, but with slightly smaller fish, going to 6lbs, he finished on 70-14-0. Mel Kitson (Rod & Gun) was exactly a pound behind second, with a Sycamore Pool best of 69-14-0 at corner peg 50. Fourth went to Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) on 65-8-0 at point peg 13 on the Sycamore.
