5th November 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Everything turned out perfect at our Mersey Series Match for organiser Ant Higham (aka King of the River) as he drew an end peg that as luck had it turned out to be the only one with some slack water in a flooded river. Ant put together an impressive catch of perch, skimmers, bream, and roach for 12lbs taken on groundbait feeder and maggot for an easy win. Unfortunately weights then plummeted as anglers struggled to hold bottom and even see bites but Mersey regular Roy Everson persevered to take second spot with 1-7-8.
Our Monday Disabled & Over 60's match unsurprisingly saw weights down on the previous week following a heavy frost. There was almost a complete change in prize winners with the exception of Lenny (end peg) Dutton who was in the money again and crept up to second place with 2-9-12, however the clear winner was George Hollis who put together a net of skimmers and roach for 4-0-8. Lots of small fish were caught.
The Mount at Buckley is still producing good sport according to member Phil Hancock who caught a mixture of roach, perch, tench, and four carp on groundbait feeder and maggot. I would really appreciate some catch reports on Offa's Dyke Pools (Llanfynydd Road CH7 4LQ) which is only a ten minute drive from The Mount.
The second round of our pair's series was fished on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Billinge in strong winds and heavy rain. Kev Green played the waiting game to tempt two large perch and a roach of 1lb that also took a liking to his worm bait for a total weight of 5-3-4. Mike Savage was runner-up with 3-6-0 of small skimmers and roach. Mike and his partner Craig Lowndes are still the leading pair by just one point. Next match on the 16th November.
Ouch, one of our members reported a glitch in our map directions to Worthington Lakes so I would ask all members who have had any problems to any of our fisheries or found nearer location post codes to please let me know as we intend to produce an updated map book when current stocks are depleted. The fisheries as shown in your membership booklet are the definitive list.
I would really appreciate more 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.
