20th December 2011 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
If you thought that sport around our waters was poor last week well I can tell you this week it's even worse. For the first time this season our regular Sunday series on the Mersey was cancelled due to unfishable and dangerous conditions. Even so a few hardy anglers turned up despite the weather.
Our Disabled & Over 60's match held on the normally productive pegs at Statham was hard going to say the least; however it produced a new face in the prizes, Mike Daniels, who only needed 1-12-0 to almost double the weight of runner up George Barber on 14-0. Match organiser John Dagnall had his worst weight of the year with 1.5ounces, and he fared better than some anglers! There will be a 'Christmas Holiday' break in this series with the first match being drawn at the Star Inn, Statham at 10am Monday 9th January 2012.
Mersey match organiser Bob Campbell has laid on his usual annual Boxing Day Special to give a welcome release to those members who after watching the same television repeats and stuffed to the gills with turkey and mince pies just need a quick fishing fix. Well, if the weather improves according to forecast this could be for you. Draw 9am Victoria Park.
Don't forget if you fancy fishing our 'Mystery Pairs Match' on Monday 2nd January 2012, anglers can book on to fish either the Mersey or the Bridgewater Canal with Helen Dagnall at Cheshire Angling 01925 635486. Tickets £10 all in. Your mystery partner will be drawn after the event back at the Star Inn. To date I believe there are just short of thirty anglers booked on the list so it should be an interesting event.
I would welcome any catch reports either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk. HQ Parker Street is now open as usual between 7 & 9pm on Friday, for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, or any queries.
Sincere good wishes for the festive season and a very Merry Christmas with a special thank you to all who have kindly supplied me with their catch reports throughout the year.
