16th July 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Our second Association Match (Rod Only) saw improved results from what has been a dour Mersey so far this season. Winner Ray Bowden had a nice net of perch and roach taken on his trusty 18ft rod for 6-4-0. The bright sunshine was a problem for the majority of competitors but Ray wearing his new Panama hat was unaffected. Roy Everson took the runner up spot with 4-14-8.
Paul Smith and Mark Scholes had a good session on Rixton Claypits this past week; Paul caught plenty of roach 6 to 8ozs, bream 2 to 5lbs, a tench of 3lbs, topped by a 13lbs common all taken on the pole using pellet and corn. Mark had loads of roach and perch, three nice bream, and a tench. They witnessed a member who was surface fishing catch two carp, one of 15lbs with the largest weighing 23lbs. To quote Paul, "The place is awesome."
Volunteers helping to prepare Phoenix Park Lake in readiness for the annual Family Fishing Taster Day on Wednesday 24th July have done an excellent job to ensure the event goes without a hitch fishing wise. The rest is down to Mo, Jane and our qualified coaches who will be in attendance from 10am until 2pm on the day.
Thanks to those members who took part in the working party last weekend at Offa's Dyke Coarse Fishery. Work there is progressing but it is not yet open to members, however if you would like to speed up the process the working party is on again 9am Sunday. If you can bring gloves, and whatever tools you can lay your hands on such as loppers, handsaws, etc. Cold drinks and sandwiches will be provided. Post code CH7 4LQ takes you just short of it but the entrance is by the permanent road narrows traffic lights, our blue WAA sign is on the entrance, just drive through to the car park 100yds on your left. Ask for Brian Jones on arrival.
