REPORT

MOLANDS This pool is responding well to a variety of tactics at the moment. Pole fished pellet, caster or paste all producing mixed nets with F1’s to 1½lb, bream to 3lb, crucians to 1lb, tench to 5lb and the odd carp. The best approach for the bigger carp is to fish the pellet feeder or method feeder tight up to the island with polony, 6mm pellet or meat on the hook which are accounting for fish to 10lb. The best pegs are 4, 10 – 14, 19, 27 – 31, 42 – 48 and 52 – 56.

GEARYS The heavy rain through the week put a few much needed inches of water into Gearys but did affect sport at the weekend with the carp switching off on all but a few pegs. Plenty of skimmers showing and the extra water should bring the top end back into form over the next week. Pole fished worm and caster are best for silvers and method feeder with meat, corn or pellet are working best for carp to double figures. Top pegs are 9 – 13, 16, 19, 27 – 32 and 36.

LITTLE GEARYS The top pool for matches at the moment with some excellent catches made this week. Mick Bull came within ounces of breaking his own lake record with 135lb during Wednesday’s Open. Mick took carp to 4lb and F1’s on the pellet feeder and meat/pellet from peg 15. Lots of F1’s being caught on paste or pellet fished down the near margin as well as the middle island along with skimmers, tench and crucian carp. Every peg capable of decent catches but the windward end is usually the most prolific.

GRATUITIES Gratuities is still in good form with tench, crucians and carp being caught to a variety of methods. Pole fished pellet or caster is best for crucians to over 1lb and anglers have caught bags of 40lb or more. The tench go to 6lb with lots of fish in the 2 – 4lb range and bigger baits such as 8mm pellet, meat or paste are working best for these along with carp in the 2 – 6lb bracket. Best pegs 1 – 3, 8 – 10 and 16.

ANNIVERSARIES Tench, skimmers and crucians have provided most of the acti
