27th August 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Even better weights all round this week on our regular members Mersey Series match on Sunday that saw Jeff Shaw put 15-5-0 on the scales for a decisive win. His roach and perch catch were taken on the pole alternating between maggot and caster. Roy Everson was the runner-up with 10-14-0 just edging out Ste Featherstone by a two ounce margin. Nineteen anglers fished which was the best turnout so far this season and reflects the improved catches.
Still on the Mersey which is producing some quality bream catches from behind Grey Mist Mere with the chance of a carp or two if you set your stall out right. The bad news is that we have poachers again despite the extra attention given by the Environment Agency and our members. Don't forget the EA can only have any chance of success if members ring in and report such instances immediately on the 0800 807060 emergency number and not hours later. This has to be a joint effort and so far working together has brought about a good number of prosecutions. Most of you have an idea of who is responsible so let's get it sorted.
We have had four carp deaths over the past week or so at Moore Quarry and quite rightly members are concerned but it must be remembered that the vast majority of the fish in this water were introduced illegally in the first instance from the Bridgewater canal many years before WAA rented it and therefore they are quite old fish being of an unknown age when first moved. No other species is affected however the situation is being monitored.
The at Offa's Dyke Fisheries working party is still on again this Sunday, meet on the car park at 9am on Sunday CH7 4LQ postcode is just short of the gateway by a few hundred yards but is adjacent to traffic lights where the road narrows to single carriageway. These volunteers are giving up their time and working for you so why not turn up and lend a hand.
Keep sending in your catch reports which are invaluable to this column and fellow members. Either ring me on 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk. HQ 52, Parker Street is open as usual between 7 & 9-00pm on Friday, for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, or any queries.
