General
Fish are feeding up very strongly as though they know autumn is on the way. Fishing tight to margins or out against the island is producing very well, so is 11meters out, some stunning carp coming out and giving great sport fighting well, all species feeding up well, in margins at 3ft of first shelf, or 6 foot of second shelf, 11 meters out, up in the water or dead bottom, make sure you use watercraft to choose pegs and then decide what method you are going to choose to fish.
Best baits on the hook have been angel banded 10mm pellets, expander pellets, soft hooker pellets, maggots, casters, worm, mussel, sweet corn and paste (try making paste out of angels 3mm pellets works a treat,), for feed chop worm and caster, maggots, angel feed pellets, or soak angel feed pellets with some groundbait.

Pegs 3 & 23 cast to the aerator tight in to it, peg 1 fish to your right or to the island, peg 40 fish out or to your left, corner pegs are very productive close in, careful of the monsters they love the corners and boy do they go when caught, pegs facing the islands bomb or feeder out tight to reeds and high up as close as you can get.,
Alan Mc Guire caught 90lb in Wednesdays match and lost more than these by the fish spitting the hooks at the net.
