29th October 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
What a difference seven days and a flood of cold water made to our Mersey Series as weights plummeted with not a single angler breaking the 2lbs mark. However it was a close match as winner Roy Everson put 1-14-9 of feeder caught small roach and perch on the scales just nudging out one of Cadisheads finest Pete Jones on 1-14-0. The top four anglers all drew in the forties where the flow was a lesser pace than those who drew in the fifties where something approaching a 60gm feeder was needed to hold bottom close to the near bank.
Our Monday Disabled & Over 60's match was back on the Bridgewater Canal this week and turned out to be a good move for despite the fact that in last week's column I predicted that there would be no massive weights they turned out far better than the Mersey results. Graham Belton won the match with a weight of 7-5-9 of roach and perch plus a bonus specimen perch. Alan Brown was runner up with a 5-9-12 all roach net.
The first round of our pairs series was fished on Saturday at the Scholar Green stretch of the Macclesfield Canal. There were plenty of bites to be had from mainly small fish but individual winner Bob Campbell still managed to put 7-9-8 of punch bread caught roach on the scales to win this inaugural match. Second placed Craig Lowndes was less than an ounce adrift with 7-8-14 that consisted of three large perch and a few silver fish although he no doubt cursed his bad luck as he lost two big perch that were coming to the net. Top pair was Mike Savage and Craig Lowndes.
Appleton Reservoir is still producing fair catches with Junior National Squad member Morgan Adawee being rewarded with a specimen roach of 2-3-0 along with a smaller fish that took a ledgered boilie intended to target the waters carp stocks. He also landed three carp. Pike angers have been out in force on the Mersey where one member reported a magnificent fish of 17-6-0 from the seventies peg area.
