FISHING REPORT
MOLANDS With the weather switching from hot to cold through the week it made for very inconsistent results with the best of the fishing when it was warmer. Match nets to 125lb were caught in the middle of the week but slowed up as it got cooler at the weekend, in the matches bomb with pellet or wafter ,pellet waggler and long pole with meat or banded pellet have been the top tactics. Carp anglers have had good catches with fish to 25lb and with a few more over the 20lb mark showing. On the warmer days surface fishing worked well but generally a boilie or a pop up fished with a PVA bag has worked best.
GEARYS Match nets to around 100lb and pleasure nets exceeding that,with carp to over 20lb featuring in catches. Bomb with PVA Bag and wafter has still been the top tactic but method feeder , long pole with banded hard pellet and down the margins with corn or dead reds over micros have also worked well. There are some nice nets of skimmers being caught with corn or maggot fished over micros or groundbait.
LITTLE GEARYS The most consistent area has been pegs 7- 15 with nets to around 100lb best from there. Meat fished short or down the edges has been the best approach but method feeder with wafter or a waggler with 6mm hard pellet and long pole with banded pellet have also been producing decent sport.
SIBLINGS A . Still the most consistent area has been from pegs 17 – 21 with carp and f1s showing in nets to 60lb. Banded hard 4mm or expander pellet fished tight up to the island has worked best but dobbing bread or corn has still been catching and picking out some nice carp into double figures.
SIBLINGS B Shallow tactics are starting to work with f1 nets to around 50lb coming to maggot ,caster or 4mm pellet fish down the middle of the pool. Meat,worm or corn fished down the edges has picked up better sized carp and f1s later in the day. The most consistent pegs have been 5- 10.
ANNIES The top end of the pool was best this week with pegs 1-10 and 17- 23 producing nets to over 50lb with carp to 15lb and f1s to 7lb being caught. Pole fished meat or 4mm pellet and waggler/bomb with 6mm pellet have been the best tactics
WILLOW Fished well at times with nets to around 70lb last week with the f1s showing better and carp from 2-6lb providing the best chance of action. Waggler,bomb or a method feeder to the island or long pole with corn ,banded pellet or maggot have been the best tactics.
GRATUITIES Carp to 17lb featured in catches last week with the noted corner pegs 1,8,9 and 15 producing the better carp sport on float fished corn or worm down the edges. On the other pegs amehod feeder or waggler tight up to the island has worked best. Grats offers good mixed nets of Skimmers, F1s ,chub and roach fishing maggot or caster down the middle of the pool.
