17th May 2011 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Following on from last week's phenomenal tench catch Moore Quarry is again in the news with the capture of a massive carp that weighed in at 34-10-0. I have not yet spoken to the angler at the time of going to press but I understand the fish was weighed and witnessed by one of our local depots on Friday morning. Hopefully the angler will contact me in due course because catch detail and a picture would be more than welcome for our archive.
New member Carl Johnson on only his second visit to one of our fisheries was more than pleased with his 21-8-0 mirror carp and eight tench ranging from 6lbs to 8.5lbs. Grey Mist was the magic venue where his monster crab boilies were obviously in great demand as at one time the baits were taken on both rods simultaneously, putting Carl under just a little pressure to successfully land both fish within seconds of each other.
Chris Pownall reports catching a PB 21-8-0 common from Cicily Mill Pool on Sunday on a chod rig using Nash boilies. He also had five tench to 4lbs on method feeder before switching to his carp gear when the fish showed some signs of activity.
Grey Mist Mere is really up there with the best for tench fishing, in fact when the Environment Agency carried out test netting last year they were amazed at the quality and numbers of this popular species. Biggest I have heard of this past week was 9-4-0 whilst Ian Edwards had a catch of sixteen fish on dead maggot using a balanced rig. James Gould sent me some real quality pics of his fish from both the Mist and the small lake at Sandiway. The fish from the latter were several shades lighter and really pretty fish.
On the match scene Barry Owen made it his second successive win with a cracking 9-8-0 net of roach taken on bread and caster. Pegged at Moore he doubled the weights of the other three anglers in the frame.
It was petticoat power that led the way in our weekly junior event with Emma Bellis absolutely battering any opposition with a net of 7-13-12 of skimmers and roach. Adam Harman came in second with 2-14-11. Only 3 drams separated the intermediates with Luke Bowden taking the top spot with 3-15-5.
Our Minnows Summer Series of coached events for beginners and improvers start on Tuesday 24th May draw 6pm Euclid Avenue. Our qualified coaches will be on hand to help and both members and non-members are more than welcome.
