22nd June 2010 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Nick Evans had a red letter day at Cicely Mill at the weekend when he hooked and landed the `big common.' his catch was weighed and witnessed by fellow member Martin Fox. Nick was enjoying a good day catching crucians to 2.5lb, decent bream and tench on method feeder. He was using a 13/4 lb test curve rod, 10lb line to 8lb braid and a size 10 hook when the big common took his chosen bait a single piece of plastic sweetcorn, beating his previous personal best a 20lb mirror from the Bridgewater canal by over 10lbs.
Ron Evans our bailiff on the Dane reports that all the anglers on the Dane on opening day caught with Nick Brunt having one of the best bags with two 4lb chub with smaller chub and dace making up his catch, Roland Hatfield also managed a couple of 4lb chub, several grayling and some trout. I would imagine by now the river is pretty low and in need of some fresh water to liven it up.
Member Steve Edge had his usual first pilgrimage of the season down to the River Severn at Loton Park the river was at the lowest level he had ever seen it. Fearing a blank he nevertheless persevered and was rewarded as dusk approached by a smallish barbel of 6lb, in Steve's words it is such a beautiful isolated spot to fish that any fish is a bonus!
The Mersey open last Sunday was won by the same angler Alan Faulkner for the third year in succession from exactly the same peg on the river which is pretty amazing. There has been no senior presentation for the last three years so Alan has missed out on his Warrington AA tankards something which will have to be remedied!
Albert Morris was again disappointed with the fishing at the Manchester end of the Bridgewater on Sundays open match. The match was fished from Parksway towards the Wides most anglers' fished caster at 14mtrs but the small fish are still not co operating with only a few roach backing up bigger tench and bream needs to get in the prizes. The match was fished just short or the wides near Kellogg's which on inspection later Albert found to be black with bream and chub all sunbathing and of course with no interest in the free meals the anglers were offering earlier.
