IT is no secret that Big Sandiway produces large carp, tench, bream, and roach, but I seem to get belated reports as an afterthought.

Thankfully information is more forthcoming from anglers who favour the adjacent, and more prolific, 17.5-acre water where Stephen Wharton last week reported catching two carp, a mirror and a common around the 15lbs mark, while also losing a larger fish.

He also had four bream averaging 4lbs, all caught during an afternoon session on boilie over pellet.

Grey Mist Mere is starting to produce both tench and carp with the best reported a 20-pounder that looked a stunning fish.

I gave it a go myself, fishing by the car park, but suffered my first and hopefully last blank of 2015.

Neil Plunkett decided to try the Mount again following the blank he suffered on his last outing, and ended up with nine fish: seven carp made up of a couple of low doubles and the rest between about 5 and 8lbs.

He also caught two cracking bream, one just over 6lbs the other marginally over 7lbs.

Neil also managed a double catch: as he was landing a bream, his other rod went and he ended up with a small carp in the same net.

Len Davies and his son enjoyed their Easter Sunday at the same venue with a mixed bag of carp, bream and quality roach.

Our disabled and over 60s match on Monday was fished at Keckwick Bridge, and it looks like it was down to the draw bag as both winner and runner-up came from adjacent pegs.

Bread specialist George Barber put together a skimmer and roach net, taken on pole and punch for 3-8-12, followed by Trev Bainbridge who put 2-11-12 on the scales.

There is now one of our security locks fitted to High Legh Fisheries that should ensure only members visit the waters.

There were a lot of fish moving on my visit, and I was tempted.

However I had tackle, but no bait. A lesson learned!
