17th July 2012 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Cicily Mill Pool has found its form that following hectic spawning activity saw David Dunbobbin and his pal Dave King enjoy a double helping of cracking sport following a successful Saturday session they both returned the following day for more of the same. They had over twenty five tench to 4lbs, twenty or so bream to 3lbs, thirtyish crucians to 2lbs, two carp of 11 and 10.5lbs, plus plenty of fin perfect roach with some touching a pound. For good measure David even winkled out a pike from under his peg that had been striking at some of the smaller roach he returned.
Dave Harrop took a trip to Budworth Mere this last week, fishing a groundbait feeder packed with fishmeal groundbait, casters, and pellets he ended his session with seven hard fighting hybrids from 3.5 to 5lbs, a bream of 4-7-0, and a small roach. He alternated between 3 red maggots and a small worm tipped with a maggot at forty metres. He reckons he will be back soon for a revenge session following the loss of five large hybrids at the net.
The Mount fishery at Buckley is still producing good sport according to bailiff Brian Jones although there were fewer anglers on the bank over the past weekend. Andy Morris fished on the adjacent small pool and bagged up on roach to 1.5lbs. Steven Jones on the main lake had plenty of hard fighting tench to 2.5lbs while John Wilson got into the large rudd with fish to 1.5lbs. Neil Plunkett had plans thwarted for a river session by the monsoon rains and dropped back to this productive venue for a short session and was rewarded with eight carp. He went home cold, wet, but happy.
Local rod and Mersey master Paul Harding did the double last weekend by winning the Mersey National Series and the 2nd Association (Rod only) matches on consecutive days. Bream featured in both his catches of 8lbs and 4-9-0 and although weights are not yet up to last year's standard they are slowly improving. I wonder if the match record will be beaten again this season.
