13th January 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Another of the Gannon family took their first win of 2015 on our Mersey Saturday Sweepstake with 11-8 (five roach). This time it was Norman's turn closely followed by match organiser Ray Boden with 10-8 (seven roach. The Mersey Sunday Series Match was won by Ray Boden with seven roach for 1-0-0 with Alan Morris in second place with three roach for 12-0.
Our Disabled & Over 60's match on Monday saw Graham Belton notch up his first win of the 2015 from the Dead Length on the Bridgewater Canal. Annually fish normally shoal here for the winter but on this occasion bites were hard to come by and Graham needed only 1-5-2 to take the top spot. Runner up was match regular Jimmy Byrne with an equally grim weight of 1-3-6. Only perch were caught, surely it can't get any worse.
A few of the newly stocked carp are being caught from Grey Mist Mere although not a lot is happening elsewhere to write home about despite good numbers of hopeful members on the banks of our different fisheries. One fishery stands out and that is the Mount at Buckley where there is a working on Sunday so whilst they are working on the car park the fishery is unfortunately closed as there is no other parking available..
Unless a miracle happens it looks as though the diving club survey planned for Saturday 17th January on Moore Quarry may not now going ahead at this time. Mat Brown from the diving club is looking at alternative arrangements.
Just a reminder to members that 2014 night permits expired at the start of this year meaning that those who wish to night fish from 1st January must first renew both permits. Bookings will not be taken on 2014 permit numbers.
Please email me your catch reports to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or you can ring me on 01928 716238. Our headquarters at 52, Parker Street are closed on Boxing Day but open as usual the following Friday between 7 & 8-30pm for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, and any queries.
