REPORT

MOLANDS With frosts most mornings this week, it was not difficult to see why the afternoon/evening sessions produced the better catches. The waggler and 8mm pellet fished on the deck came back into play this week catching carp to 12lb and tench to 5lb. Fishery regular Derek Hartshorne fished the on peg 48, catching 17 tench between 2 and 5lb and three carp. The F1’s are spread all around the pool and one day they will be close in with pole and pellet catching well and the next you need to fish a small feeder to the island with banded pellet or dead red maggot. Best pegs are 2 – 4, 8 – 15, 31 – 33, 44 – 48 and 56 – 58.

GEARYS The shallow water of Gearys was badly affected by the overnight frosts and sport was difficult, despite this, carp to over 15lb have been reported and Fred Evans of Coleshill had one at 15lb 8oz and another of 12lb 11oz in a nine fish catch on the method feeder from peg 19. Straight lead or waggler with 8 or 10mm pellets has also been producing a few carp. Bream, skimmers and tench are coming best to long pole with expander pellet or caster fished over ground bait. Best pegs 9 – 11, 17 – 19, 28 and
31 – 36.

LITTLE GEARYS This has been the fairest pool with decent weights coming from all around. Shallow pole with banded hard pellets or caster and pole fished paste down the edge continues to produce the best catches. F1’s, carp and skimmers have been feeding best with pleasure nets to over 60lb caught this week. Top pegs are 4, 7, 11- 14, 17 – 29 and 26 – 28.

GRATUITIES The far side from pegs 11 – 15 is the best area with tench and carp being caught on a small feeder or straight lead with 6 or 8mm banded pellets on the hook. Plenty of crucians, roach and small tench are being caught on pole and expander pellet around the pool.

WILLOW Fishing well with lots of skimmers to 1lb, roach and crucians coming to the pellet, maggot or caster fished on the pole. Carp up to 10lb, F1’s and tench are falling to small
