REPORT
MOLANDS Carp are showing in increasing numbers with fish to 16lb caught in
matches and a few bigger ones falling to pleasure anglers. Pegs 8 – 10 and 54 – 58
are the best areas for carp with the method feeder and meat producing decent bags.
The Open matches remain by popular demand, silver fish only and with catches like
Wednesday’s Open with the top 5 weighing over 60lb and on average 42lb per angler
it is not surprising that they are popular. Bream to 5lb, tench to 4lb and lots of roach,
skimmers and crucians are giving good sport all around the pool. Chopped worm and
caster on a ground bait feeder is the most popular method but pole and pellet is starting
to catch especially fished shallow. Best pegs are 2, 4, 10, 13, 31, 45, 46, 55 and 58.
GEARYS The very changeable conditions through the past week mirrored the fishing
on Gearys with good sport early in the week followed by patchy fishing at the weekend.
Carp to double figures are being caught on floating baits with the candle or dog biscuit
the favoured approach for surface feeders. Mixed nets of skimmers, tench, roach and
crucians are coming to pole and pellet or chopped worm and caster. Evening sessions
are usually the best with the fish willing to feed really close in down the margins.
Best pegs are 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 30, 31 and 36.
LITTLE GEARYS Match catches to nearly 60lb and good general fishing all around have
made for an improvement in the fishing on Little Gearys. Lots of different methods are
working at the moment with the straight lead and meat or corn fished across to the island
or caster and worm fished down the near shelf are probably the two most productive
methods. Best pegs are 7, 12, 13, 14, 19, 21, 23 and 25.
SIBLINGS The reed beds along the top end of the pool are providing excellent sport with
tench and carp at the moment. Catches of up to 25 tench during the morning and evening
sessions are common with meat, paste or big expander pellets working best. Carp to
double figures are showing and plenty around the 2 – 3lb range. Those that just want
several bites are fishing maggot or caster and getting lots of roach, skimmers, rudd and
the odd tench. Best pegs 1, 11, 13, 18, 19 and 20.
ANNIVERSARIES Good mixed nets on caster, worm and pellet with tench to 4lb,
crucians to 2lb, roach and skimmers. It is advisable to fish tight to the islands or down
the margins for best results. Best pegs 1, 2, 9, 13, 17 and 20.
WILLOW Lots of tench and small carp are coming to pellet, meat or paste fished down
the margin. Good for bites if you fish caster, maggot or small expander pellet with roach
and skimmers always obliging. Best pegs 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 12.
GRATUITIES Lots of small carp, crucians and roach are coming to the short pole with
pellet, maggot or corn with a few bigger carp and tench coming to spice things up.
Pleasure catches to over 50lb are common palce and this is a lot of bites. Best pegs are
1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16.
