The word that Ackers Pit is throwing up some decent catches is out with a good number of our junior members bagging up on carp and roach. Martin Egan on Sunday converted five of his seven bites into hard fighting mirror carp and my visit on Monday afternoon ended with a seven out of eight score. Neither of us had any silver fish but there were plenty topping towards the end of the short session as the light faded.
Warrington Anglers Local Winter League fished on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Broken Cross last weekend saw a drop in weights but Neil Buist (Cheshire Angling) had a comfortable win with 7-12-0 of roach taken on bread and caster. Less than an ounce separated the next three results with second placed Gary Mannion just ahead on 3-13-14. With three matches to go Warrington Red team have taken the lead with 108 points.
Dave Blears was the only angler who caught over the lb mark to win Mondays Disabled & Over 60's match on the Bridgewater Canal with 1-7-0 followed by John Sharp on 15-2.
At Rixton Claypits anglers on night sessions are catching tench plus the occasional bream but no carp have been reported. Work will be starting shortly on the pathways and pegs where volunteers will be more than welcome as everything needs to be hand-balled from the car park down to the water's edge. Please let me know if you are interested.
The result of not locking our security barriers is currently there for all members to see on our car park at Moore Quarry in the shape of the disgusting mess left behind from a burnt out car. Thankfully the body was removed. There is no place in Warrington Anglers for such selfish so called anglers who by their actions expose a fishery and decent members to such threats.
Please keep sending in your catch reports whatever they are, good, bad, or indifferent, as they are invaluable. Contact me either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk.
HQ Parker Street is now open as usual between 7 & 8.30pm on Friday, for 2011 night permits and new memberships. The latter can still also be purchased from Baileys Tackle, Cheshire Angling, and Challinors Sports in Warrington or at our other depots as listed on our website, or online at www.warrington-anglers.org.uk.
