13th August 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
All match results have improved this week and the Mersey where anglers really struggled early in the season has now settled down to provide consistent sport. Ray Bowden showed his mastery fishing the pole and notched yet another win with a mixed net10-3-0 and almost 2lbs clear of runner up Al Morris. Forth placed Paul Hitchen managed the eerie weight of 666!
Disabled & Over 60's winner George Barber included a bonus bream of 3.5lbs in his winning weight of 5-8-12 and the Minnows Series saw more fish come to the scales with Andrew Carman taking the top spot with 4-1-0 and Ethan Owen not too far behind on 3-11-5.
Ian Robinson reports catch of eleven carp taken on floating bred crust from High Legh Fisheries. Whilst the best fish was estimated at only 8lbs they gave a good account of themselves as he was using a 13ft waggler rod and 4lbs hook length. You either love or hate this tiny fishery but there is one thing for sure it is set in nice surroundings and is capable of good sport on the day.
Although his first visit to Ackers Pit the fishery is George Deakins idea of Eldorado, handy parking and plenty of sport. Fishing a light waggler and alternating between 6mm pellet and maggot he estimated that he had a mixed net of tench, roach, perch, and four carp of about 4lbs apiece. The roach are really plump and along with the tench which have bred, the latter evident by the small olive green 'bars of soap' that are being caught. Our peg improvement is ongoing with our small band of working party volunteers. If you fancy helping on this project or anything else for that matter please get in touch and I will pass on you details to committee member Reg Lewis
