Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes 13th May 2014
The first peg he fished had just been vacated by a member who had caught four carp to 24lb and gave Ste all the info needed. So fishing pva bags of pellet and crushed boilie with hi viz pop ups on the hook within an hour he had a lovely 16lb common followed by two more carp, eight tench up to 7lb6oz, and four bream during the night.
His swim went quiet and he spotted a lot of carp crashing near the far bank, he packed up next morning and moved to the spot and added a further 11 carp and 4 more tench to his catch. The biggest carp were 21 and 26lb with a total tally of fourteen carp,12 tench and four bream. Ste commented "what a great water little Sandiway is with a little effort the rewards are there to be had".
Meanwhile at Grey Mist Mark Lindley reported a mirror ( Houdini?) of 27lb 8oz. The fish had been caught a month earlier at 26lb8oz the increase verified on two sets of scales. It was caught close in by the weed and the irony is his Dad hooked it on his son's rod but being an absolute gentleman in true Grey Mist spirit handed the rod over to his son to play and land the fish. Isn't that what Dad's are for?
Our head bailiff at Buckley (The Mount) where there is an awful lot of work going on at the moment reports lots of single figure carp being caught from the back pool. Ian Grayson caught 11 carp best 13lb 8oz from the first peg on the car park using floaters. This water is well worth a visit.
It's sister water Offa's Dyke pools just ten or twelve minutes away is looking well but is still a work in progress, fish are being caught and surprisingly a few chub have featured in catches.
It might suit some members at present but trust me by year end all being well it will be vastly improved.
There is a working party on Sunday just general tidying up and some weed removal, the plan is to work for a few hours then have a fish into the afternoon. Everyone welcome to come along, if you have chest waders that will be a big advantage if you fancy helping out, if not just come along and meet the lads and have a fish!
HQ is open every Friday evening from 7 pm to 9pm for new members,subscriptions, night permits, or just general information.
