FISHING REPORT
MOLANDS . Fished a lot better this week with match weights to 115lb with carp to 24lb and f1s to 10lb featuring in catches. Waggler, bomb with pellet and the new tactic of slow sinking bomb have been the top tactics in the matches. The specimen anglers have found fishing a pop up over particles at the island or close in down the margins has been the way to go. Most consistent areas have been pegs 10-15,29-35,43 -46 and 56-60.
GEARYS . In good form with good catches from most areas of the pool and nets to over 160lb The carp are still sitting out a fair way during the day and bomb with PVA bag and bait up feeders has been the way to go. Later in the day the fish are coming in closer and short pole with pellet or down the margins with dead reds or worm over groundbait is accounting for some lumps. . Carp anglers have had some big catches and fish to 24lb fishing over a bait up feeder, pod or PVA bag with boilies or double 8mm pellet.
LITTLE GEARYS A much better week with nets to just over 150lb best with the f1s switching off a little and bigger carp to 20lbs making up the best of the catches. The carp have come to a method or bomb and pellet fished across or just short of the island and down the margins on worm or corn fished over micros. The f1s albeit in lesser numbers are coming to shallow pole with caster or pellet and meat fished short.
SIBLINGS A . A bit better this week with catches to around the 60lb mark and some nice carp up to 16lb and f1s to 7lb featured in nets. Meat, banded hard 4mm or expander pellet fished tight up to the island or down the margins has worked best during the day and in the evenings corn or worm over micros is accounting for some quality carp as well,
SIBLINGS B Still Fishing quite hard this week with match nets to around 40lb best but pleasure anglers reporting bigger nets especially those fishing late afternoons . Meat, worm or corn fished down the edges or the far bank has picked up better sized carp and f1s later in the day. The most consistent pegs have been 5- 13 with the fish sitting in the far bank reeds, so you need to get tight up for best results.
ANNIES Its been a little slower on Annies this week with nets to around 60lb being caught in matches with carp to 15lb and f1s to 6lb showing .Corn or worm fished over micro pellet tight up to the island was the best approach but short pole with meat or pellet and bomb/waggler with 6mm pellet was also worth a go. The best pegs have been 2,6,10 17 and 21.
WILLOW , Willow has been fishing well this week with plenty of carp and f1s from 2-4lb showing on most pegs and match weights to over 60lb were recorded . Fishing tight to the island with wagglers or feeders and down the margins with worm or corn over micro pellets is the way to go at the moment.
GRATUITIES Plenty of carp in the 2-4lb range and the odd lump into double figures being caught on the pole or waggler fished down the middle of the pool with corn, banded pellet or expander on the hook, a small method feeder to the island with pellet or wafter has also been working well. Fish maggot or caster for some nice silver catches including quality roach, chub and skimmers.
