4th November 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Ewan Price reports a good roach session on the Macclesfield Canal at Scholar Green where he fished maggot on the pole catching fish around the 6oz mark. A change to caster later in the session saw the stamp of fish improve with some nudging the 1lb mark. He also had two perch of around 2.5lbs and lost an even bigger fish at the net when it slipped the hook.

The Saturday Mersey Sweepstake saw Jimmy Byrne slip another win under his belt with a pole performance which netted him an all roach catch of 9-7-0. Ray Bowden shied away from his usual pole tactics and was runner-up with 7-2-0 caught on the tip which included a couple of bonus 2lb skimmers plus roach and perch. Those chub are growing fast and Alan Morris had a couple around the 1lb mark which looks promising for future sport.

 This week's Mersey Sunday Series saw Cadishead rod Pete jones go home very happy after taking his first win of the season. He gave a master class display of waggler fishing from end peg 12 and put a mixed net of chub, perch and roach on the scales .for 7-4-0. Pete went home with his flask still full of tea as he never even had time to pour himself a brew, now that's a good session. Ray Bowden pushed Pete all the way to claim his second runner-up position of the weekend and caught all his 6-14-11 on the pole. The first three anglers were all on the float, the waggler, pole, and bolognaise.

Marginally better results this week in our Disabled & Over 60's Match on the Bridgewater Canal which saw Jimmy Byrne claim the top spot with a mixed net weighing 5-1-4. Runner-up was George Barber with all the fours 4-4-4.
