6th December, 2016 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Last Saturday saw Cameron Daley (pictured below) who will reach the tender age of four years in January out for a short piking session on the Bridgewater Canal with his dad Steve. His first try at spinning resulted in a waterlogged plastic bag but a couple of casts later he hooked and landed a small jack. A change of method to float-fished lamprey tail resulted in his biggest fish to date at 8-6-0. After playing and landing both of them himself he struck and hooked another but magnanimously handed the rod to dad Steve to take the third which fell to smelt.
Our Sunday Mersey Match produced a first win of this year's series for Roy Everson (aka The Cobra) who fished a groundbait feeder and maggot for a couple of perch plus roach for a weight of 4-12-0. Second place was rather crowded when three anglers ended up with identical weights. Karl Guy, Ant Higham, and 'tip-master' Paul Harding all put 3-5-0 on the scales to share the money from the three places.
This weeks Disabled & Over 60's 'Christmas' prize match fished at Walton saw George Barber who it is rumoured has shares in Warbuton's Bakery take yet another win fishing the pole and the white stuff on the hook with 4-6-6 of roach. Derek Bibby took second place with a similar catch for 4-1-9. Every angler received a prize in this friendly weekly series. Next week there is a venue change to the Trent & Mersey Canal at School Lane.
