9th December 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
On Friday we will be stocking carp from VS Fisheries into our Association owned waters of Grey Mist Mere, Rixton Claypits, and Sandiway Lakes. So popular are the strains of fish supplied by this company that to be certain of getting fish our orders are made usually around two years in advance. C4's are destined for Sandiway small Lake and C6's for the larger fishery with a batch of C5's for Moore Quarry and Grey Mist Mere. We are starting at Grey Mist Mere between 10-30 and 11am dependant on traffic conditions. As usual members who wish to attend/help are more than welcome.
Again on the carp scene there is not generally too much action at present but bucking the trend is our bailiff Daz who fishes The Mount at Buckley. In the past week or so he has caught forty seven fish to upper doubles using either boilies or corn and feeding small samples in a mesh PVA bag. Worth a visit as the fishery also produces some stunning roach over the magical 2lbs mark, quality tench, and bream.
Our Pairs Series organised by Geoff Stoll was fished this week on the Macclesfield Canal at Scholar Green following a hard overnight frost and saw the individual win taken by Bob Clough with 4-7-0 followed by Phil Cross with 2-15-11. Graham Belton and his partner in crime George Barber now have two Pairs points wins under their belt, this week with 4 to add to the perfect score of 2 the previous week.
Weights were down again this week on our Saturday Sweepstake match which was won for the second week in succession by Jimmy Byrne with a net made up of a bonus 10oz perch plus small roach for 2-2-0. Derek Bibby was second with an all roach catch for 1-14-0.
Jimmy Gannon who was third on the river the previous day won our Mersey Sunday Series match taking a bonus 1lb skimmer backed up by small roach taken on punched bread for a combined weight of 4-2-0. Martin Lenihan missed out on any bonus fish but was in the runner-up spot with an all roach catch taken on maggot for 3-7-0.
As the colder unsettled weather continues our Disabled & Over 60's match on Monday was again a struggle for most anglers. Roach dominated the top two weights with an all perch net also in the frame. Alan Brown was the winner with 3-12-0 followed by Lenny Dutton with 2-11-12.
Catch reports are really scarce at the moment so please drop me an email to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk with anything of interest, or you can ring me on 01928 716238. Our headquarters at 52, Parker Street are open as usual between 7 & 8-30pm on Friday, for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, or any queries.
