17th September 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Mersey weights are down this week but still very respectable considering the conditions on Sunday. The top weights came to pole tactics with winner Bob Brander putting 9-12-0 of roach and perch on the scales for a comfortable win. Bob broke his pole during the match so his winnings were some consolation. Match regular Paul Harding reports landing a 9lbs bream on Tuesday whilst practising for the weekends Mersey Championship. A couple of those in the net and its game over!
Following on from England Ladies Team recent World Championship win in Slovenia it is great news that Drennan Team England also won gold in their event this last weekend in Warsaw, Poland. It certainly has been a good year for England on the international scene so well done to all concerned.
The Disabled & Over 60's Monday match on the Bridgewater Canal was a close run affair and again saw lots of small fish being caught. The winner George Hollis had a couple of bonus skimmers in his net of 2-10-6 to just edge match ace Jimmy Byrne by a mere ounce.
A team from St Chads School, Widnes led by teacher Dale Blackburn started a new joint initiative with WAA on Monday at our Phoenix Park fishery. Their team of teachers and students have kindly planned to make improvements over following weeks by clearing litter, improving pegs, and to generally have a positive impact on the water and surrounding area. Hopefully they will find some time to also fit some fishing into their schedule.
Recently several members visited a stretch that WAA previously rented on the River Calder giving the excuse to the owner that it was in our map book. Members should note that our definitive list of fisheries available to members is as clearly stated and set down on page one of the annual membership booklet and not the map book. The latter is only printed every four or five years due to cost.
