REPORT
MOLANDS   Fished really well this week with carp to 20lb, F1’s to 6lb, tench to 4lb and crucians to over 1lb are featuring in catches. Match weights to 130lb have been caught but plenty of back up weights from 40lb to 70lb.  Pole and pellet is the best tactic either fished short at 5m on the deck or 13 metres up in the water.  Pellet waggler is also catching plenty of fish tight across to the island.  Top pegs are 2, 12 – 17, 27, 31, 42 – 48 and 52 – 60.
GEARYS   Still not at its best on Gearys, although match weights to 100lb have been caught the fishing has been a little patchy.  Carp are coming to the bomb and pellet fished out at 30 – 40 yards or a method feeder with dead reds or banded pellet out to the middle stumps.  Mixed nets to 40lb of skimmers, tench, smaller carp and crucians are being caught on caster, maggot or expander pellet.  Top pegs are 7 – 11, 18 – 23, 30 – 32 and 36.

LITTLE GEARYS    Starting to really come into form with match weights to over 150lb being caught mainly of F1’s but carp numbers have been increasing too.  Shallow tactics have been best with long pole and pellet, caster or small pellet waggler fished across to the island both catching really well.  Good nets have been caught fishing meat or corn down the margins as well.  Best areas are pegs 1 – 5, 9 – 13, 21 and 25 – 59.
GRATUITIES   Shallow or on the surface tactics have been best on Grats, with plenty of carp in the 2 – 4lb range coming to the pellet waggler.  Bread or dog biscuit on the top has accounted for the bigger samples with fish to double figures coming to this.  Lovely sport can be had fishing for the crucians with lots of fish in the 8oz – 1lb range coming to caster or pellet.
WILLOW   Always very popular and good sport can be had by fishing the feeder out to the island with pellet, dead reds or small boilies catching F1’s and carp.  A few better fish have fallen to surface tactics with bread or dog biscuit catching carp to 15lb.
SIBLINGS A & B   Both pools have been fishing consistently well over the last week with carp, F1’s, ide and skimmers showing.  Pole tactics have been best with pellet fished tight across to the far side or down the middle.  Pegs 5 – 10 on Siblings A have also been producing a few weights on the feeder, either a small method or pellet again fished tight to the far side.
ANNIVERSARIES   Anglers are getting plenty of bites with F1’s, ide and skimmers providing the main action.  A small waggler or pole and pellet out into the open water have been producing nets to over 50lb.  Best pegs have been 1 – 8, 15, 17 and 21 – 23.
