FISHING REPORT

MOLANDS . Still not in the best of form but some nice carp being caught with a few over 20lb . The bigger carp were caught shallow or off the top with candle/water waggler combined with 8mm pellet or wafters. Night fisherman found fishing down the near margin with cell or active-8 boilies was productive and pegs 6-10 , 23-31,39-45 and 52-60 were the best areas.

GEARYS . A bit of a mixed week but when the carp were in the mood nets to over 150lb +were caught with a number of 20lb + fish showing. Method feeder fished to the islands or out to the middle stumps has been the top tactic with bomb and 8mm pellet, long pole with 6mm pellet and down the margins late on the day with corn or dead maggot also working. Top pegs have been 11-21 and 27- 33.

LITTLE GEARYS . Like most of the pools it was a mix of good days and days when it was a lot harder but on the good days nets to 140lb were caught which included carp to nearly 20lb and f1s to 8lb. Caster shallow has been the best tactic but meat fished short or down the margins or method feeder with wafter to the island also producing a few fish.

ANNIVERSARIES Meat fished short continues to be the top tactic with nets to around 50lb best. Shallow caster or pellet has been starting to work on the jigga float and pegs 2,6,9 and 19-23 have been the most consistent areas.

SIBLINGS A Match weight to around 60lb best this week but pleasure anglers reporting bigger catches fishing later in the day. The best tactic has still been meat fished short but long down the margins on corn ,dead reds or pellet fished over micros is also working. Shallow pellet or caster is also starting to produce and a mugging rig can pick up a few better sized carp.

SIBLINGS B . Nets to over 60lb this week with the bigger f1s starting to switch onto the caster fished shallow or down the edges. The bigger carp are coming to dobbing along the far side or to corn or dead maggots fished tight up to the far bank or down the margins with fish into double figures showing.

GRATUITIES Some lovely nets of silvers coming to caster or maggot which have included bream to 3lb,roach to 1lb and chub to 2lbin catches to over 30lb. Carp to around 15lb were caught on pellet waggler or surface baits such as dog biscuit

WILLOW Starting to pick up with the more overcast conditionsat the end of the week more favorable to the F1s and nets to 60lb with fish to 7lb coming to shallow pellet or caster. The carp are feeding best late in the day with fish into double figures coming down the margins where corn or worms over micros has accounted for the better nets.
