9th September 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

9th September 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Dave Webb took his partner Kassie Lapatrie for an overnighter at our Moore Quarry fishery on Saturday where at just thirty minutes after the bewitching hour the action started when Kassie hooked into a decent fish. The result was a new PB and her first common carp weighing 21lbs.

Tony Rough fished on the River Dee at Shocklach on Sunday using an Avon float and trotting down with maggot on the hook and loose-feeding maggot and hemp. He caught around 15 grayling, 7 sea-trout, and enough small chub and dace to make any angler very happy. Tony commented, "It is an outstanding stretch of river which is a joy to fish."

Eric Smith took his grandson Callum Postill, (age 12), to Cicely Mill Pool for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon, telling him with fingers crossed that he would catch a PB crucian, his current best was a 1lb fish. After an hour or so of catching small roach and skimmers the prophecy came true in the form of a crucian of 1lb 9oz which put a big smile Callum's face. Next Sunday's target fish are pike.

Jeff Shaw took the top prize money in our Saturday Mersey Series this week with 10-14-8 of roach, perch, and skimmers taken on both pole and tip. Match organiser Ray Bowden fished the pole at 11metres throughout to make it a close run thing with 10-7-0. With only five minutes to go Jim Gannon hooked into a decent fish and the resulting 6lbs bream landed as the 'all out' was called rocketed him into third place with 9-8-0.

Bob Clough's luck finally ran out this week with a big DNW (did not weigh) as our co-match organiser Paul Harding took the winners spot with 14-0-3 making it his first Sunday win of the series this year. Paul drew unlucky for some peg thirteen and had a mixed net of bream, skimmers, and roach on groundbait feeder and maggot. Ray Bowden was more than happy to mirror his Saturday success as runner up from peg 16 with 10-11-3 of roach and perch taken on his favoured pole and maggot method.

This week our Disabled & Over 60's match was fished on the Bridgewater Canal at Pickering Bridge and saw predictably much lower weights on this once prolific length. Jimmy Byrne took the honours with 2-8-4 of small silver fish. M Daniels was second with 2-5-14. But many anglers struggled for bites.

Members are reminded that they must be able to produce their paid up membership cards whenever they visit any of our private enclosed fisheries whether fishing or not. This is their only proof that they are entitled to be there. Giving bailiffs' grief will not be tolerated as they are volunteers helping their club and looking after fellow member's interests.
