REPORT
MOLANDS   F1’s providing the bulk of catches with long pole and pellet or caster catching fish to 3lb in nets to over 40lb.  Pellet feeder with pellet or dead red maggot is also working on some areas producing carp, F1’s and skimmers.  Best pegs are 1 – 4, 8 – 13, 23 – 27, 42 – 46 and 52. 

GEARYS   Fished quite hard this week with the cooler temperatures affecting sport on Gearys.  Best tactics have been bomb and bread for carp or pole with caster or pellet for mixed nets.  Top pegs 7, 10 – 13, 16, 30 – 32 and 36.

LITTLE GEARYS   Little Gearys produced the better catches this week with F1’s coming to pole and pellet fished long at 13 metres or down the near margin.  Nets to nearly 50lb caught in matches with pegs 3, 7 – 13, 21 and 25 – 28 the top pegs.

GRATUITIES   A little more patchy with the corner pegs starting to dominate and producing nets of carp and tench to pole and pellet or caster.  On the straight, a small waggler fished up to the island with punched bread has provided a few carp to 8lb.  Top pegs 7, 8, 9, 15 and 16.

ANNIVERSARIES   Pleasure anglers have enjoyed the best sport on Anniversaries catching plenty of F1’s, small carp, skimmers and even a few tench.  Pole tactics best fished either in the open water or up to an island feature.  Best pegs are 1, 2, 12, 17, 19 and 21 – 23.

WILLOW   Most of the pool has been quite difficult this week but pegs 5 and 6 have been in good form providing plenty of small carp and F1’s to a pellet feeder or small method feeder fished tight to the island with dead reds on expander pellet.
