16th December Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

 

The regular Mersey series was disrupted this week by floodwater which covered the pegs and was quickly switched to Appleton Reservoir. Andy Caddock took first spot fishing a maggot feeder to put 9lbs of plump roach on the scales. Trailing by just over 3lbs was second placed Martin Lenihan with 5-13-12. For the record anglers averaged 3lbs per man which considering the colder weather isn't too bad at all. Catches are the very reason that the 'Res' is proving popular as a reserve Mersey venue and I really cannot understand why more members don't visit the fishery.

 

Our internet members forum is proving popular with lots of new applicants registering, we even have had one angler from America trying to muscle in with a joey membership number. Well, after our experience with idiots using our last open forum he had no chance. Now members can freely exchange information and ideas about what our sport is about, simply fishing.

 

Anybody out there struggling to think of a suitable Christmas present could do far worse than snap up one of our memberships which are a bargain. Join and fish now and pay nothing until February 2010.

 

Tickets are now on sale at Cheshire Angling for our popular members only pairs match fished on Sunday 28^th December. One angler fishes on the Mersey and the other on the Bridgewater Canal.

The unpredictable weather will throw up some surprise results.

 

The Disabled & Over 60's matches have now been suspended until in the New Year. Watch this space for the new dates.

 

Finally I would like to wish all the readers and members a very Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

 

Please let me have your catch reports on 01928 716238 FAX 01928713898 or e-mail frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk.

HQ Parker Street will be open on Friday evening as usual between 7 & 9-30pm for subscriptions, new members, etc. Please Note: Closed on Boxing Day and open again on 2^nd January.
