REPORT
MOLANDS   The fishing on Molands has been very good this week with carp,f1’s and skimmers showing in numbers all around the pool.Match weights to 100lbs and bigger catches taken by pleasure anglers.Fish are being caught to a variety of tactics with pole fished banded pellet on the deck or shallow working well and pellet/method feeder to the island pellet,polony or white boilie on the hook another approach that is catching plenty.Top pegs are 8-13,21-27,31-33,40-48 and 54-58.

GEARYS   Carp are making up the better catches with plenty of fish from 4-8lbs showing with the odd double figure bonus fish.The skimmers only having a go when there is a good breeze on the water.Best tactic has been to ping 8mm pellets and then fish the bomb or pellet feeder over these.Top pegs 10 – 15,18-21,27-31 and 36. 

LITTLE GEARYS  Still not in the best form but is very fair with many pegs capable of winning matches and weights to over 60lb were recorded last week.Long pole and pellet or  a small method feeder to the island have been the best tactics.Best pegs 1,5,7-13,21 & 25-29

GRATUITIES Waggler with corn or banded 8mm pellet fished tight as you can get to the island has been producing some good nets of carp.Pole fished expander pellet or caster is also doing well for mixed nets.Top pegs 1-3,8-11 and 15  

ANNIVERSARIES    Fished  a little better this week with Plenty of skimmers,crucians andf1s showing with catches to 40lb  on pole and pellet, caster or meat.

WILLOW.  There were some decent catches of carp and F1’s coming to the pellet feeder fished to the island with punched bread or dead maggot on the hook and also long pole with maggot fished over ground bait worked well on some pegs.   Pegs 3 – 6 have been the most consistent area. 

SIBLINGS   Fished a lot better this week with some good mixed catches of tench,bream and crucians coming to floatfished pellet or corn.The last few hours in the day have been most productive fishing tight into the margins with the middle point area best.
