REPORT

MOLANDS This pool is in superb form throughout the week with big nets of F1’s, skimmers and crucians being caught on all areas. With pellet fished at 4 – 8 metres the most effective tactic. Carp are also showing in numbers with the method feeder fished up to the island with banded hard pellet or meat working best for fish to 10lb. Best pegs are 1 – 4, 12 – 19, 37- 45 and 54 – 60.

GEARYS The best method weight of the year so far to come out on Saturday’s Open, 117lb caught by Andy Fulleylove of Dordon who used a small method feeder and meat and fished it tight to the second island on peg 1 to take 20 carp to 12lb. Carp are now being caught all around the pool but the middle stump area on pegs 10 – 13, 17. 18 and 30 – 32 are the areas offering the best chance of bigger catches. Plenty of decent skimmers showing and a few tench and pole fished pellet or corn is working best for mixed nets.

LITTLE GEARYS The carp park bank from pegs 24 – 30 is the best area offering good nets of F1’s, skimmers, carp and tench fishing close in down the margin at 3 – 4 metres with pellet or caster. Match weights to over 60lb and pleasure anglers exceeding that this week.

GRATUITIES Not prolific but most anglers enjoyed a bit of sport from tench, crucians, small carp and the odd bigger carp to 6lb. Long pole, waggler or a small open end feeder have all worked this week and the closer you can fish to the island the better. Expander pellet, banded 6 or 8mm carp pellet and meat have been the best baits.

WILLOW Keeping it simple by fishing pellet or caster at 6 – 10 metres is the best approach with F1’s, small carp, crucians and skimmers all showing well. Best pegs are
1, 5, 6, 9 and 13.

ANNIVERSARIES Quality roach to over 1lb and skimmers provided the main action on Anniversaries with caster the top bait. There are a few tench and crucians also starting to feed with expander pellet or corn picking out the better samples. The best area has been on the lawn and the far bank pegs 12 – 19.
