REPORT

MOLANDS Pleasure anglers enjoyed the best sport last week with F1’s and skimmers providing the bulk of the catches. Maggot or caster fished over ground bait or micro pellet, either down the shelf or at 11 – 13 metres has been the best tactic. The best areas have been 1 – 10, 16 – 21, 29 – 33 and 44 – 48.

GEARYS Fished hard this week with skimmers providing the best of the action. The deeper water along the high bank has been the most consistent area producing skimmers to 3lb. Pole fished caster or pellet has been the best approach with a small ground bait feeder also worth a try.

LITTLE GEARYS F1’s to 3lb have been showing well all around the pool and on the milder days they have been coming shallow. There have been catches to over 40lb in matches with pleasure anglers exceeding that. The best approach has been to fish the pole at 11 – 14 metres with worm, pellet or maggot on the hook fished over micro pellet but only feeding tiny amounts. Best pegs are 7 – 11, 21, 25 – 29.

GRATUITIES The fish are now shoaling and if you are on them, good nets of tench and carp are still coming out with pegs 1, 8, 9 – 11 and 15 the hot pegs at the moment. A small feeder fished to the island or long pole with red maggot, corn or pellet fishing best.

ANNIVERSARIES The top end of the pool from 1 – 9 has been the best area producing nets of tench, skimmers, roach and small carp. Caster, worm or maggot are the top baits with long pole the best method.

WILLOW Pegs 5 and 6 the best for carp with corn or pellet fished against the reed beds with fish to 8lb coming out last week. Elsewhere on the pool, caster, maggot or small expander pellet fished on the pole has produced plenty of bites from skimmers, roach, F1’s and crucians.

RIVER BLYTHE The River has been in good form last week with lots of chub from 1/2 lb – 2lb coming out along with roach, perch and dace. Float fished maggot has produced lots of smaller fish with breadflake best for bigger chub.
