17th August  2010 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

I can only begin this week by saying a sincere `Congratulations' and very well done to local angler and WAA member Bernard Anderson on his recent record breaking mega catch which will shortly be reported on in detail in all the major angling publications.

On a trip to Church Lake in Essex Bernard decided to do some good old fashioned stalking using a rod, centre pin reel and lob worm after spotting some decent carp cruising around.

He tempted what turned out to be the biggest carp to take his bait and was eventually the proud captor of a beautiful verified 61lb 6oz British mirror carp.

The catch is particularly important as the former British record carp  a fish called Two Tone which as reported on today's ITN Lunchtime News has died and will be buried at the weekend.

Bernard's catch is therefore all the more important as his 61lb 6oz mirror carp could be the new British record and certainly I am told that he has broken several records with his achievement.  It is the biggest recorded stalked fish capture, biggest caught on a centre pin reel, biggest on lob worm and is also an Essex record as well as making Bernard the youngest angler to catch a British carp over 60lb.

The whole process was filmed and photographed by the Nash TV company who were on the lake at the time and able to record events for posterity some of the footage and pictures will soon be on view at Baileys tackle shop at Woolston.

In contrast the news from around our fisheries this week has been pretty scant  reports of a few nice tench and carp to 17lb from Rixton Clay pits, Grey Mist very iffy with just a few tench caught and sadly a couple more of the old carp being found dead in the margins.

Decent numbers of good roach being caught on waggler and red maggot or caster from Wide Hole, the Mersey fishing it's socks off on Sunday only to be in a dire mood for our young anglers on Monday nights match/coaching session.

Incidentally thank you to the `Mersey regulars' who turned out to chaperone and coach the junior members on the river.

Best of luck to our senior team competing in the Angling Trust Div 1National Championships on the river Trent this Saturday sorry got it wrong last week!
