13^th April 2010 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

At our monthly committee meeting on Monday it was an easy task to choose the recipients of our Catch of the Month prizes with Jeff Mobray taking the senior member prize with his capture of the famous Cicely Mill common at 30-12-0 and Mike Spavin the junior prize with a 23lbs common from Rixton Claypits. Both receive more than they can carry in Bait-Tech products plus a Korda carp care kit.

At our Disabled & Over 60's match on Monday Lenny Dutton took the honours in a low weight but close event with 3-13-1 of small roach and gudgeon. Jim Byrne was runner up with a similar catch for 2-11-7. Paul Bibby notched up his first taste of any coin for some time when he struck into a lightning fast bite and landed an old leather purse containing £3.70.

Lee Emsden reports that some big bream are being caught from Sandiway Large Lake with the smallest at over 10lbs they are really impressive fish. I believe one was so large that the angler could not get his hand around its back! Tench ranging between 5 and 8lbs are also showing up in catches although it is quiet on the carp scene.

For a trial period throughout April, May, and June anglers can fish the small Lake at Sandiway for two consecutive nights to open up the potential of this picturesque and productive Association owned fishery. With a limit of ten anglers there will be plenty of pegs remaining. It is important that when booking on for night fishing at Sandiway that anglers clearly state the lake they intend to fish, i.e. large or small would be sufficient.  Also in the interests of fair play anglers cannot fish the lakes more than five days in any seven.

Grey Mist Mere is still producing tench catches with fish to 6lbs and one angler on Monday had four carp with the best a linear of 23lbs but interestingly he also caught one of the new mirrors at 14lbs. It is vitally important that anglers send in pictures of both sides of these fish in order that we can monitor their growth rates as more are ordered for the end of the year.

Please continue sending in your catch reports as they are valuable to both your fellow members and your committee. Contact me either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk.

HQ Parker Street is open as usual on Friday evening between 7 & 9pm for subscriptions, night permits, and new memberships (these can also be purchased from any of our tackle shop outlets listed on our website www.warrington-anglers.org.uk )
