Fishery report

MOLANDS  Big F1s started to show a little better this week with fish to 8lb coming out and along with the carp showing it was a better week on Molands with match weights to 150lb being caught. Best tactics have been method feeder to the island with wafters, punched meat or dead maggot on the hook, long pole with banded hard 6mm pellet and down the margins with dead reds, corn or worm fished over micros. Carp anglers fishing the night reported catching lots of double figure fish with the best at over 23lb.

GEARYS . Still fishing well with match weights to over 140lb and most pegs producing plenty of carp. Long or short on the pole with banded pellet or meat, bomb or waggler with 8mm pellet and down the margins with dead maggot ,corn or worm has been best for carp up to 20lb. Nice silvers nets of skimmers and roach coming to maggot or caster over ground bait.

LITTLE GEARYS Still fishing a little hard this week with nets to around 80lb best with the main action coming late down the margins with some decent carp and f1s coming to banded pellet or dead maggot fished over ground bait. During the day long pole with meat, 4 or 6mm pellet on the deck is accounting for a few f1s and smaller carp.

ANNIVERSARIES  . Pole fished caster or pellet fished shallow or expander pellet, corn or dead reds fished over micros tight across to the features or down the margins has been the best approach but Pinging 6mm pellet and fishing the bomb or waggler over the top can be very effective as well.

SIBLINGS A  Nets to over 100lb this week and generally shown decent form from all areas. Carp to 15lb and f1s to 6lb have featured with pole fished worm, maggot or pellet fished over micros either across to the island or down the margins working best.

SIBLINGS B . Fishing better with nets to over 100lb made up of f1s from 2-4lbs showing along with some nice carp up to double figures. Pegs 5-12 have been the most consistent and pole fished meat,  maggot ,corn or banded hard pellet the best approach.

GRATUITIES The bigger carp are coming to the waggler with pellet or a method feeder fished tight upto the island with pegs 8- 15 on the far side the most consistent area for carp from 3-10lbs. Nice mixed nets coming to maggot caster or expander pellet fished over micros fished down the middle of the pool .

WILLOW  The better catches are being caught by fishing tight up to the island with a method feeder ,bomb with pellet or a small pellet waggler with carp to 10lbs and f1s to around 5lb making up the nets. All pegs are worth a go but 3,5 and 10 are the flyers at the moment.
