REPORT

MOLANDS   The first proper frosts of the autumn saw sport go from good at the early part of the week to patchy at the weekend.  The carp have been producing the better catches coming to the pellet feeder or method fished across to the island with fish to 10lb in nets to over 90lb.  F1’s still being caught shallow but on the deck with expander pellet fished over micros at 13 metres on the pole is the better tactic for them.  Best areas have been on pegs 2 – 4, 12 – 14, 23, 31 – 33, 40 – 46 and 56 – 60.

GEARYS   The cold nights affect Gearys harder being shallow water but catches of carp to over 60lb were taken last week.  Pellet or bomb and bread have been the best tactics for carp to double figures.  The skimmers have been showing a little better with fish to 3lb coming to long pole and pellet, corn or caster/worm.  Top pegs are 6 – 15, 19, 23, 27 and 29 – 32.

LITTLE GEARYS   Not been in the best of form this week with match weights to just over 50lb best.  Long pole with caster or pellet is the most consistent tactic but pellet feeder fished to the island is a good back up.  Top pegs 3 – 7, 10 – 13 and 23 – 27.

 GRATUITIES   Grats is fishing pretty well again this week with lots of carp in the 1½lb – 3lb range coming out and loads of crucians and tench to 4lb.  Pole fished pellet, chopped worm and caster or corn have accounted for the better catches.  Best pegs have been 1, 4, 8, 9, 13 and 16.                                                                                                  

 ANNIVERSARIES   Most anglers fishing Annies have enjoyed good sport with mixed nets of skimmers, crucians, roach, barbel and a few carp and tench.  Pellet, caster or maggot float fished at 6 – 10 metres into the open water has been the best tactic.  Top pegs are 2, 6, 10, 15, 17 and 19 – 23.

 WILLOW   The best approach at the moment is to fish tight up to the island with method feeder or bomb and pellet/bread working well fished really close up.  Carp to double figures and F1’s are producing the best sport.  Best pegs 1, 4 – 6 and 11.
