11th June 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
A bench has now been sited along the Bridgewater Canal in the memory of young member Jack Bellis who tragically lost his life last year. 'Jack's Bench' as it will be known is sited on the canal bank between Grappenhall and Stanney Lunt Bridges or for those who know the area behind St Wilfreds Drive. Thanks to all those who kindly gave donations and as promised Jack's dad Andy is putting the residue amounting to £350 into our junior fund. Also the support of the Manchester Ship Canal Company and local residents is likewise appreciated.
The Mersey Series starts again on the magical 16th of this month when the coarse fishing season re-opens following the enforced ninety day lay-off. I must mention the team of members that spent last weekend strimming around pegs, carrying out repairs where needed, and general tidying ready for the big day on Sunday. I am told that Arthur Plumb handled the strimmer like a veteran and even went to the gym for a workout later.
Both our Supercup teams had a close run affair in round two of their respective matches. Our 'green team' fished against Trafford Angling Supplies at Partridge Lakes and drew on points but got through on weight count back with 186-11-0 against Traffords 184-4-0. Sadly our other team on a similar count back lost out by a mere 2.5ozs.
Mandi and Mark Aitchison managed a tench session on Grey Mist Mere last week where for a change Mark managed to outdo his wife with fourteen tench against her six. All the fish were males as the females were all waiting to spawn. I think by now most will have done the business and will be cleaning off.
Rhys Cattermole had a great morning session on Woodshaw Reservoir this week catching 30plus crucians up to the pound mark on dead maggots and soft pellet. His session was marred somewhat by a middle-aged angler who clearly breached our fish welfare code by walking to the adjacent peg to see his mate with a small tench dangling from his line. Had he been identified he would now be an ex-member. Who needs morons like him!
