22nd April 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

22nd April 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Growing numbers of our members are gradually discovering the cracking sport that can be had at our Worthington Reservoirs complex. Although the smallest one is closed until the 16th June the middle reservoir provides fishing to suit a variety of tastes be it carp, bream, or roach action.  Lee Camsey set his stall out for bream on Good Friday and using a groundbait feeder set-up with floating maggot on the hook. He ended his session with fifteen bream over 3lbs with the best at 5lbs plus lots of good sized roach and a few perch. Oh, and mega sunburn in the bargain.

I have been itching to get out for a tench session on Grey Mist Mere so last week I actually managed a three hour stint. Between members phone calls I landed a cracking brace caught on maggot feeder with the best around 7lbs. And whilst there was no action whatsoever on my carp rod Phil Lindley on the next peg was well pleased with his brace of mirrors weighing in at 19-4-0 and 17lbs on only his third trip to the Mist. His last visit resulted in four tincas with which he was equally happy. Successful method was homemade boilie tipped with sweetcorn.

Adie Paddock fished the same venue on Saturday and caught eight tench to 6lbs and returned for more of the same on Easter Monday when he caught another five of the red eyed beauties. The icing on the cake however was a 17lbs mirror carp which took a lot of playing to the net on his 0.18 hook length.

Rixton Claypits have been producing rewards aplenty in the form of bream and tench for several members who have put their club first and collected rubbish left by both anglers and others. They know who they are so I will not name and embarrass them but on behalf of the majority of our decent members a sincere thanks. There is now a growing swell of members who are quite prepared to report bad behaviour and litter louts.  

A set of keys has been found in our gate lock at Appleton Reservoir. If the person contacts me with a detailed description and membership number I will re-unite him with his property. For the record the fishery has been producing some carp action and decent roach on groundbait feeder tactics.

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.
