Twenty five hardy souls turned for our Disabled & Over 60's event held on Monday where sport although not hectic was far better than the previous week where frosts put the fish off the feed. Alan Brown had 3-0-0 of roach and second placed Ron Durr was not too far behind with 2-9-2. Totally opposite from last week it was an all roach event save for one solitary skimmer that bucked the trend.
The John Lavery Memorial Series that is run on an overall points system ended up a close run thing between Lenny Dutton and Jimmy Byrne. Lenny was the victor with only a single point margin on 16 against Jimmy's 17.
Weights improved on this week's Mersey Series that saw Ray Bowden win the event from end peg number 68. Not that Ray needs an end peg to win but it helps as he put a cracking net of roach and perch on the scales for 9-14-0. Ray caught steadily trotting through his swim fishing bolognaise style with maggots. Paul Harding stuck to his favourite feeder and tip tactics for second spot with a similar mix of fish for 7-1-12. Don't forget this coming Sunday is our members only Fur & Feather ticket only prize event. Get yours from Cheshire Angling.
Also members are reminded that all official WAA matches are advertised and they must move if asked by the organiser. Nowadays we do not have many matches so this rarely is a problem but it can be once anglers draw their pegs and arrive at the waterside to find someone already fishing.
Please keep those catch reports coming in as they 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 & 9pm on Friday, for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, or any queries.
