23rd July 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Mark Pritchard reports a busy four hour session on the River Mersey catching thirty five perch to 12 ounces, sixteen roach, and most exciting because it shows that they are breeding a chub of 12ounces. He was also ripped off twice by really big fish that made short work of his 1.5lbs breaking strain hook length. Method was a small waggler and double maggot on a size 18's hook fished at one and a half rod lengths.
I'll bet nobody's taking the Mickey out of Ray Bowden's lucky Panama hat now as he showed the way again this week taking first place on Sunday's Mersey match with an increased weight of 8-15-9. It really doesn't get much closer as Stu Conroy was less than on ounce behind Ray with a catch of 8-14-11.
The inaugural Jack Bellis Memorial Match on the Bridgewater Canal saw Jimmy Byrne take top spot with 5-14-12 and up and coming young match angler Nathan Rowles the runner-up with 5-9-1. David Smith easily won the 'Jacks Match' junior event with a cracking weight of 10-0-0 comprised of three bream and four perch all taken on white maggot. Runner-up Lewis Wright with 1-11-5 was fishing one of his first serious matches so was really happy with his result, and on his birthday too.
The working party is on again this Sunday at our new Offa's Dyke Coarse Fishery. If you fancy helping 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.
