13th September 2011 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
The Mersey Series on Sunday saw those members who stuck to pole tactics literally battered by bream as the first three anglers included large specimens of feeder caught fish. So I expect at this point I should eat my words for as I reported in last week's column 'they never show up in matches'. Furthermore the winner, Roy Everson set up a new Mersey match record with 26-7-14 that included specimens of 8-3-0 and 7-3-0 which along with a brace of 4pounders and a few roach made up his winning catch. He fished caster and Red Lake and fishmeal groundbait in a large swim feeder. Please note temporary change of draw venue to Mersey Walk due to Warrington half marathon.
Again a 'b' word but now barbel as targeted on our River Wye stretch by Les Capper and his mate Mike Brooks. On the first day Les had what he thought was a cracking day catching a personal best chub of 4-15-0 along with nine barbel to 7-11-0. The following day he slid his net under a 12-7-0 barbel and another personal best followed by another nineteen of the beauties. Mike also got amongst the barbel plus a few chub but couldn't match his mates catch rate; definitely Les had the boss swim.
Stan Deakin fished on the Bridgewater Canal opposite Moore Post office where not so many years ago you would struggle to get on this hot peg but on this occasion not another angler in sight in either direction. Their loss though as veteran angler Stan proceeded to empty his peg of quality roach perch and several big bream. According to some there's no roach in this canal, well how's 10lbs plus not counting the perch and bream all taken on the pole at 11metres and white maggot.
The Disabled & Over 60's match was moved due to weather conditions this past two weeks to the dead length where committee member Graham Belton who won the previous weeks event with 6-6-6 put another winning net of 4-7-8 on the scales for the double. Barry Owen wasn't too far behind with 4-2-12.
Rumours are rife regarding a couple of recent thirties from our 53 acre lake at Sandiway and several twenties from the adjacent but smaller17.5 acre one. Any pictures would help us to establish growth rates that would help with future stockings.
