12th November 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Ant Higham has won our Mersey Series for the second week in succession as he made the most of another end peg draw to put 7-9-12 on the scales made up of a bonus bream, skimmers and roach. Runner-up Ray Bowden drew the other end peg to end up with a similar catch for 7-5-0. Most anglers fished a groundbait feeder in conditions that saw the river carrying extra water for the third week running. Catches have improved with most angers on the 2 to 3lbs mark. The Mersey Fur & Feather Match is to be held on 8th December (strictly members only) book in with Cheshire Angling to ensure your place.
Derek Bibby put together a skimmer and roach catch to take the winners' purse at our Monday Disabled & Over 60's match on the Bridgewater Canal at Grappenhall. Second placed Ron Durr's day started well as he took a bream of 2lbs on his first put in on the pole and added small roach to weigh 3-2-0.
Our bailiffs report that Worthington Lakes are producing plenty of quality roach and skimmers although carp anglers are noticeable by their absence. I spoke to a member last week who was suitably impressed by his brief session on Arley (the middle reservoir) when he vowed to make a return trip very soon.
Quite a few members have asked when we are carrying out our annual carp stocking program. The answer is that I do not have a date at present as this depends upon when the fish are netted and sorted from VS Fisheries stock ponds. I will publish details when known so that members who wish to watch/help can turn up on the day.
There is a working party on the Mount at Buckley on Sunday 17th November meet 9am on car park if you are interested. Ask for Brian Jones or Derek Cowell.
As the weather goes colder I would really appreciate any catch reports. These are invaluable to this column and fellow members planning fishing trips. 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.
