24th June 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

24th June 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

The new Saturday Mersey Sweepstake organised and run by Ray Bowden will be fished every week by the Kingsway North Allotments. The inaugural match winner was Jim Gannon who included a superb bream of 7-12-0 in his 12-4-0 catch. Runner-up was match organiser Ray with 7-1-8. With feed going in regularly on both Saturday and Sunday it will certainly attract fish to these areas and can only improve. 

Lee Clarke won the 1^st Association Contest fished on the Mersey with a cracking net of bream and skimmers for 13-15-0 caught on groundbait feeder and maggot. Following up in second spot was Neil Davies who snared two bonus bream fishing the same method for 11-5-0. The river was low and clear so not too bad a result despite the not exactly ideal conditions.

Morgan Adawee won the Holston Cup junior contest fished annually on Ackers pit with 4-6-0 of roach despite losing a carp that

Unfortunately small fish dominated our Disabled & Over 60's match on the same river but there was a real gem to the proceedings when Bud Lee caught a grayling of 8 to 10" in length. According to match organiser John Dagnall the capture in itself made up for the lack of bites. For the record aside from the lady of the river only small perch were caught with Trev Bainbridge the winner with 2-10-6 followed by Graham Belton 2-8-0. Well, not quite the full story as it was rumoured that Geoff Brooks fished paternoster and lugworm to catch a small dab!

Jim Griffiths and his dad Steve negotiated the rutted track at Worthenbury on the opening of the coarse fishing season on the 16^th to find the River Dee conditions absolutely perfect. Jim had 13 grayling to 1.5lbs plus 4 trout and a dace whilst Steve managed 3 chub and would have had more but he was too engrossed watching the barbell spawning.

Please note there is a working party on Grey Mist Mere on Saturday all welcome. Meet car park 8-30am onwards. Please note members fishing Friday night must leave the working area on the left hand side of the fishery by 8am.
