REPORT

MOLANDS The carp, bream and roach starting spawning in the middle of the week and this has affected sport. The F1’s have followed the breeze down to the one end and pegs 1 – 6 and 56 – 61 are packed with them on top with shallow pole and pellet producing the best nets up to 70lb. In between spawning there have been a few carp caught as fish to 10lb are falling to the method fished tight up to the island with meat, dead maggot and small red boilies all accounting for a few fish. Bream and roach were caught in the England trial for Disabled and Veteran anglers with all competitors having to fish at
11 – 12 metres with bloodworm, the average catch was over 20lb for both days.

GEARYS The shallow water at the top end has been the best area, again the fish were spawning from about Wednesday onwards but carp were being caught on pole fished corn or paste and fish to 15lb were weighed in during matches. Along the high bank the skimmers have started to feed a little better with fish in the 1 – 2lb bracket coming to chopped worm and caster. The best pegs are 7 – 13 and 21 – 27.

LITTLE GEARYS The best methods are shallow pole and pellet at 11 – 13 metres with banded pellet or caster and paste fished down the rear side margins. Mainly F1’s which are up to 4lb (but mostly between 10oz and 1¼lb), a few carp to 8lb, skimmers and tench are showing. Best pegs are 7 – 9, 17 – 21 and 26 – 30.

GRATUITIES Fished very well this week with some superb nets of tench caught. Regular visitor Rex Bradley of Birmingham had 22 from 2 – 5lb on 8mm pellets fished on the lead to the island. Crucians and carp are als
