21st August 2012 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Old rivals Derek Bibby and Jimmy Byrne took first and second places in this week's Disabled & Over 60's match fished on the Bridgewater Canal at Moore. Derek had over a pound to spare with 5-10-14 against Jimmy's 4-4-14. Vice President Geoff Brooks was in the frame again in third place. It is not too often that tench are caught from the Bridgewater Canal despite the fact that we have stocked thousands in the past, however veteran Stan Charnock landed one of 2lbs but didn't quite have enough to go with it to get himself in the coin.
Still on matches our weekly Minnows (beginners) held every Monday at Euclid Avenue is more than a match it is also an important angling education instructional event attended by our coaches and volunteers. Currently all our coaches are fully CRB checked and every child who participates receives a prize. This past week due to light conditions they fished for only one and a half hours and produced a winning weight for Jake Braid of 3-14-0 followed in second place by David Smith with 1-11-12. It begs the question of just what weights they would have had in a four or five hour event.
Statham Pool is producing quite a few skimmers and roach and member Jim Bailey reports catching six carp to 10-4-0 on Chum Mixers. This water needs some TLC so are there any volunteers out there who could rum such a project. Please give me a ring or drop me an email.
We are also currently looking for a member who holds a PA6AW licence that permits him/her to spray herbicides in and around water. We need this to apply for EA permits on two of our fisheries to control excessive weed growth. Anyone interested please get in touch.
Good luck to members Helen Dagnall, Wendy Locker, and Dave Brooks (Ladies Team England Manager) who are part of the England Squad to represent their country in the 19th Ladies World Championship Coarse Angling Championship in Friesland, Netherland this weekend. There are thirteen teams taking part.
Many thanks to those members who send me their catch reports, please keep them coming. Contact me either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk. HQ 52, Parker Street is now open as usual between 7 & 9pm every Friday, for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, or any queries.
