18th November 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Steve Ellis reports a catch of bream and quality roach from Worthington Lakes where he fished a small groundbait feeder on Arley and alternated between maggot and small red worms. The bream went to 3lbs and the roach were chunky and around the 10oz mark. Virtually all of the catches from this complex have come from this fishery but hardly anything from Adlington and even less from Worthington Reservoir.

Ivan Goodier fished the Mount at Buckley for the first time last Wednesday and lost two good fish on the pole before changing over to a feeder fished against the far bank to suffer a similar fate until finally he landed a carp of 14-12-0. The fish took home rolled boilies and was followed by three further fish of 10-8-0, 8-0-0, and a tench of about 3lbs.

Ray Boden our match organiser of the Saturday Mersey Sweepstake won in convincing style with over 13lbs to spare with 19-11-0 of bream, skimmers, and roach. Ray fished the tip and his biggest bream weighed 5lbs. Norman Gannon was runner-up fishing the same method with 6-9-0 that included two bream for 6lbs.

The Mersey on Sunday was a far more fish friendly place to be than last week when anglers then struggled for bites. The winner on Sunday from peg 29 was Jimmy Byrne with 15-4-8 of bream, skimmers, and roach taken on a groundbait feeder and maggot. A single skimmer could have changed things as Derek Bibby finished in second place with 14-3-9 alternating between the tip and pole methods for a similar catch. It was good to see co-match organiser Paul Harding who spends more time on the river than anyone draw some coin despite losing two slabs at the net. Last chance today for members to get a ticket for our annual Fur and Feather match on Sunday from Cheshire Angling. Paid up membership cards must be produced.
