ANGLING TIMES COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL

The Fishery along with Barston Lakes hosted the final of the Shimano/Angling Times County Championship on Sunday with 130 anglers fishing at Packington. The first heavy frost of the autumn really affected sport with Anniversaries the pick of the pools and the best weight on the Packington complex was a 41lb bag of carp from peg 1. South Yorkshire won the event and £10,000, narrowly pipping Northants into second place. Local team Warwickshire came 6th out of 44 teams.

REPORT

MOLANDS The colder weather and a lot of angler pressure made sport very difficult on Molands last week. 30lb was a good net with the skimmers and F1’s making up the nets and chopped worm and caster, either on the long pole or in a small cage feeder has been the most affective tactic. Only the odd carp coming out but there was an 18½lb leather reported which came off peg 19 and fell to meat fished right across to the island. Best areas are 10 – 14, 19 – 25, 29 – 33 and 43 – 48.

GEARYS The high bank has been the most productive area either fishing for skimmers on pole with pellet or chopped worm/caster or a method feeder out to the middle post with dead red maggot or meat on the hook. Catches of skimmers went to over 50lb with the early pegs on the high bank fishing best from 1 – 10.

LITTLE GEARYS Although the big match at the weekend was won with just over 31lb, Little Gearys fished really well to pleasure anglers, fishing it earlier in the week. Most found a small feeder to the island with meat or corn on the hook working best for carp to 6lb and F1’s to 4lb. A lot of people practicing for the big final at the weekend, fished with chopped worm and caster and found lots of fish particularly decent skimmers, roach, F1’s and a few tench. The early pegs from 1 round to 10 were best but fish are being caught from all around the pool.

GRATUITIES Again quite a few anglers trying out for the County Championships found sport excellent through the week but the frost on Saturday night slowed things down. During the week anglers fishing the method up to the island caught well and pole fished long with pellet or caster and worm was the successful method. Pegs 1, 8, 9, 15 and 16 are fishing well.

ANNIVERSARIES If you want lots of bites this is the pool with bream to 3lb, lots of skimmers, roach, small carp and a few tench going well. Pellet was working best early in the week but as the weather cooled chopped worm, caster and maggot began to dominate. The best pegs are 1 – 6, 10, 15 and 18 – 23.

WILLOW Surprisingly Willow fished better shallow, with caster or pellet catching F1’s, skimmers, roach, carp and even a few tench coming right up in the water. Best pegs are 1, 5, 6, 10 and 11.
