28th August 2008 - Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

A catch and a half was the outcome for eight year old Lewis Anderson on a night session last Monday on Grey Mist. Judging by the pictures Lewis probably weighed in nearly his own weight in quality carp! This keen young angler accompanied by his Dad Bernard had four carp three doubles and then to top things off a 21lb 6. They were all caught and landed by the eight year old himself with his Dad standing by just to net the fish and then to supervise the weighing and photography.

All were caught using Nash Scopex Squid Liver boilies and a size 8 Nash fang X hook tied to Nash 15lb Ultra silk hooklink. Lewis caught three other fish before he wound his rods in at midnight. The other fish were all mirrors between 11lb and 16lb all fish were caught from the 'double post' swim all were landed between 6pm and midnight. The pictures will be on the web site shortly.

Despite being down two feet on Saturday the Mersey fished well on Sundays match with good catches of roach, perch and skimmers thirteen anglers who weighed in had a combined weight of 83lb. Ray Boden was out in front with his net of 15lb 3oz of perch and quality roach all caught

at 10 meters on pole.

The Dane was in form over the weekend, carrying a bit of water and the fish were feeding Bailiff Ron Williams had a short `fishing' visit as opposed to his usual working visits, in two hours he had six chub best 4.5lb all on big lumps of luncheon meat.

A reel has been found at Statham pool recently so if the owner would like to get in touch we can reunite him with it.
