REPORT
MOLANDS The carp have gone off the feed a little this week but the other fish are
making up for it with mixed nets of tench, bream and roach to over 60lb. Pole fished
pellet, caster or corn at 10 – 12 metres is the best approach but you can also have
good sport fishing close in down the margin, a tactic that is also accounting for a few
bigger carp. The best areas have been from pegs 1 – 8, 29 – 31, 44 – 48 and 55 -60.
GEARYS Carp to 16lb have been taken in matches although still not responding in
large numbers there were a lot more caught by pleasure anglers this week with the
shallow water at the top end providing the best action with nets to 50lb possible from
all areas to the pole fished expander pellet or chopped worm and caster which has also
picked tench out to over 5lb. Best pegs are 7, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24, 27, 30 &31.
LITTLE GEARYS The warmer weather has seen more fish particularly F1s to 3lb being
caught on pole and pellet fished shallow at 10 – 13 metres with catches to over 40lb
being caught on both sides of the pool. Roach have also been doing well on the pole
fished caster or pellet. Best pegs have been 7, 11, 15, 17, 19, 24 and 25.
GRATUITIES Gratuities is fishing really well with nets to 50lb of small carp, crucians
and tench. The action is fast and furious with loads of bites on the pole fished pellet,
maggot or caster with corn picking out the bigger samples. The far side is best with pegs
8 – 14 all fishing well.
SIBLINGS The tench have been providing the better nets with fishery regular Alan Horne
of Birmingham proving that a basic approach, float fished bread works well taking over 20
tench to 5lb from along the road bank by the inlet pipe. Mixed catches of small carp, tench,
roach and skimmers also being caught on the pole fished expander pellet or caster.
The best pegs are 1, 2, 11, 17, 18, 20 to 23.
ANNIVERSARIES Another pool fishing well if you want mixed nets with tench, crucians,
skimmers, rudd and the odd carp coming to float fished pellet, corn, caster or maggot.
Boilies or meat fished up to the island is accounting for the odd bigger carp with samples
to 17lb caught this week. Best pegs are 1, 2, 8, 14 and 20.
WILLOW Plenty of bites on maggot or caster with roach, skimmer and crucians very
obliging at the moment. Better fish are coming to meat or corn fished down the inside
margins with carp to 5lb and tench to 4lb responding to this tactic. Best pegs are
1, 5, 6 and 13.
