REPORT

MOLANDS The high pressure and cool nights had an effect on Molands with catches down on previous weeks. Despite this, fish are being caught all around the pool and there were lots of 40lb + bags in matches topped by 60lb+. Pleasure anglers probably had the best of the action with evening sessions producing good nets of carp, tench, F1’s and skimmers by fishing really close in as little as two feet of water. Expander pellet, corn and polony meat have been the best baits.

GEARYS There were a few lumps caught this week with fish to 18lb weighed in during matches. The shallow end from pegs 19 round to 30 has produced the better catches with carp being caught on pole and paste or pellet fished down the margins or up to any feature. Big skimmers around the 1 – 2lb mark have also been showing in numbers with chopped worm and caster or expander pellet fished on the pole at either 10 – 12 metres or again down the inside line.

LITTLE GEARYS Not massive weights but the fishing has been very fair on Little Gearys with bags from 30 – 40lb being caught all around the pool. Close in with pellet, caster or corn and this has been the top tactic for F1’s and skimmers, but the bigger carp are coming better to the method or pellet feeder fished as tight as you can to the island and fish to double figures have come to this.

GRATUITIES The tench have been providing the best sport on Gratuities and fish to 6lb have been coming out to 8mm pellet on the straight lead or corn/meat fished on the pole close in. Expander pellet on the pole is working for smaller carp to 2lb and plenty of crucians to 1lb. Best pegs are 1 – 5, 9, 14 and 15.

WILLOW Tench and carp are showing early morning and late evening with meat or corn fished over micro pellet working well. Plenty of silver fish are coming to maggot, caster or small expanders fished long on the pole. Best pegs are 1, 5, 6, 9 and 10.
