10th June 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

10th June 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Congratulations to our Woodshaw Junior Squad who won the Manchester CADG Series with a total of 7 points over the four matches and an accumulative weight of 18.36kg. Runners up on 8 points and a total weight of 15.03kg was Heywood AC. Many thanks to our coaches Bob Morris, Bob Slater, and Mike Rudd.

Likewise congratulations to our Ladies National Team of Linda Cooke, Emma Drysdale, Pat Geary, and Wendy Locker who took the bronze medal in the Angling Trust Ladies National Championships on Saturday. Linda was 5th overall so has qualified for a place in the Ladies Fishomania Final.

Our Disabled & Over 60's match on Monday saw Warrington Anglers Vice President Geoff Brooks take his first win of the year in this popular weekly series with 3-6-0. It was a close run thing at the scales that saw veteran match angler Jimmy Byrne weigh in only an ounce short with 3-5-0.

Gary McCarthy reports an enviable catch from Cicily Mill Pool in the shape of the famous but illusive Cicily Common. The fish weighed in at 33.3lbs in the net so the fish is still maintaining its size despite its venerable age. He caught it whilst set up for tench with 10lbs mainline and 8lbs hook link with a hair-rigged mini-boilie at the business end. Gary also had 6 tench averaging 4lbs plus 3 bream around the 3lbs mark. Gary, I know of a number of members who will be tearing their hair out in frustration who have been after this carp icon for many years. On Thursday Les Sherratt landed a nice crucian of 2-6-0 from this shallow but fish filled water.

An increasing number of members seem to think that our rules do not apply to them and that it is perfectly in order to leave our fishery barriers open. Well, rest assured if caught it carries a definite ban. Do you really want to gamble with your fishing not only in our waters but with the eight clubs in the North West who are equally adamant that none of us want such persons as members'? Your choice!

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.
