FISHING REPORT
MOLANDS The fishing really improved this week with match weights to over 180lbs and lots of good back up catches over the ton. Carp to 20lb, f1s to 10lb , tench to 5lb and bream to 4lb featured in nets with pole fished caster, worm, corn and pellet fished long or down the margins or method feeder tight to the island with meat or wafter on the hook the top tactics. Decent sport from all areas but pegs 2-12,25-29 ,45- 48 and 54- 60 the hot pegs
.
GEARYS Much better this week with match weights to just under 140lb best. Bomb with pellet, pole fished pellet or corn down the margins or long and method feeder to the middle stumps have accounted for the better match weights. Carp anglers have caught lots of doubles with fish just over 20lb best and boilies fished over PVA bags has been best but a few also coming from off the top on floaters.
LITTLE GEARYS Nets to 120lb this week with big fish and carp showing well all around the pool. Pole fished pellet, corn or dead maggot fished down the margins has been the top tactic but method feeder to the island, bomb with 6mm pellet and long pole with pellet have all accounted for decent nets.
GRATUITIES Plenty of carp in 2-4lb range being caught have shallow or across to the island with a small method feeder or waggler with corn or pellet. There have been lots of silvers and small F1s coming to maggot, expander pellet or caster fished over ground bait or micros. Best pegs have been 1, 6 – 9 and 15 and 16.
ANNIVERSARIES Like all of the pools there was an improvement in sort this week on Annies with nets to around 80lb best and F1s, small carp and silvers making up those nets. Pole fished pellet or maggot shallow and on the ‘deck’, bomb with 6mm pellet and a small method/banjo feeder in the wider areas have been the top tactics.
SIBLINGS A Much more consistent this week with carp to double figures, f1s to 5lb and silvers being caught from all around the pool. Dobbing corn or pellet across to the island or down the margins has been the best tactic with pellet or maggot fished down the track also working.
SIBLINGS B Very up and down with nets to around 50lb best and the end of the pool on pegs
5 – 18 has seen the better catches. Pole fished pellet or maggot fished across to the far bank or down the inside margins has caught carp to 10lb and F1s to 6lb.
WILLOW Steady fishing all week with carp up to 18lb and F1s to 6lb showing on most pegs. Shallow pole with pellet or maggot has worked best for the F1s, corn or meat short or down the margins working best for carp.
