FISHING REPORT
MOLANDS . The Fish are following the wind with large shoals of carp sitting where the wind is pushing towards and for much of the week this has been around pegs 19- 31 and 35-44. Shallow or surface tactics are still catching best during the day with pleasure anglers having fish to 20lbs on dog biscuit or a zig rig fished high in the water. In the Matches bomb or waggler fished across to the island and late in the day corn over micros have accounted for catches to around 90lb.
GEARYS The Very hot weather through the week saw catches drop but there was still some great sport to be had with match weights in excess of 150lb with carp to over 20lb featuring in catches. Bomb with 8mm pellet on the ping or with a bag has been the top top tactic but pellet or corn fished on the pole long short or later in the day down the margins has also worked well . Carp angles have had some big catches fishing over a bait up feeder,spod or PVA bag with boilies or double 8mm pellet.
LITTLE GEARYS Despite the very hot weather it fished well around the pool on little Gearys with match nets to over 100lb. The carp which go up to 22lb have made up the bigger catches but the better sized F1s which go to 8lbs have also been showing well. The carp have comt to a method or bomb and pellet fished across or just short of the island and down the margins on worm or corn fished over micros. The f1s are coming to shallow pole with caster or pellet and meat fished short.
SIBLINGS A . Like all of the pools the heat has affected the sport and the best catches were around the 60lb mark but some nice carp up to 16lb featured in nets.Meat, banded hard 4mm or expander pellet fished tight up to the island or down the margins has worked best during the day and in the evenings corn or worm over micros is accounting for some quality carp as well,
SIBLINGS B A little better with nets to over 50lb. Meat, worm or corn fished down the edges or the far bank has picked up better sized carp and f1s later in the day. The most consistent pegs have been 5- 13 with the fish sitting in the far bank reeds, so you need to get tight up for best results.
ANNIES The f1s switched off a little in the hot bright conditions and carp made the bulk of catches with fish from 2-8lb .Corn or worm fished over micro pellet tight up to the island was the best approach but short pole with meat or pellet and bomb/waggler with6mm pellet was also worth a go. The best pegs have been 2,6,10 17and 21.
WILLOW , Willow has been fishing well this week with plenty of carp and f1s showing on most pegs. Fishing tight to the island with wagglers or feeders and down the margins with worm or corn over micro pellets is the way to go at the moment.
GRATUITIES Plenty of carp in the 2-4lb range being caught on the pole or waggler fished down the middle of the pool with corn, banded pellet or expander on the hook, a small method feeder to the island with pellet or wafter has also been working well. Fish maggot or caster for some nice silver catches including quality roach, chub and skimmers.
