REPORT

MOLANDS Match weights to over 60lb and pleasure anglers exceeding that with the evening session proving best. The main tactics have been pole fished pellet either short at 3 – 4 metres or at 9 – 11 metres for mixed nets of F1’s, carp, tench, skimmers and crucians. A small method with ground bait or micro pellet is the best tactic for carp with banded hard pellet, meat or dead red maggot on the hook. Best pegs are 2 – 4, 17 – 19, 25 – 37, 40 – 46 and 54 – 60.

GEARYS Although weights have not been massive, Gearys is fishing well on a lot of pegs with carp now showing around the pool and some quality fish to 16lb have been caught this week. Straight lead and 8mm pellet is accounting for fish to double figures and the method feeder with pellet or meat is also worth a go at the moment. Bream, skimmers, tench and crucians are coming to pole fished expander pellet or paste. Best pegs are 7, 9, 12, 17, 23, 24, 30 – 32 and 36.

PACKINGTON SOMERS FISHERY

LITTLE GEARYS Paste or pellet fished down the near margin has been the most prolific tactic this week with pleasure anglers reporting big catches estimated to 80lb. The far side from pegs 7 – 13 has been in best form but decent nets are being caught on all areas.

GRATUITIES The warm weather has seen the bigger carp on top and taking floating baits such as bread or dog biscuit with fish to 8lb falling to this. Plenty of tench, crucians and small carp are still coming to the pellet, pole fished at 8 – 10 metres or a small feeder up to the island. Best pegs are 1- 3 and 11 – 15.

WILLOW This pool is very popular with both adults and children enjoying good sport from small fish, skimmers, roach, F1’s, hybri
