14th July, 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Head Bailiff Jay Makin took some time out last week to do a spot of fishing on his favourite venue Grey Mist Mere. He arrived at the mist in late afternoon setting up zig rigs on both rods and was soon into his first fish which was around 21lb closely followed by an 18 pounder. Later that afternoon both rods went off at the same time resulting in two nice doubles. Jay had another carp before 9pm before they switched off for the night making his tally four mirrors and a common. He hooked three carp on Friday morning and lost them in quick succession.
Paul Asher certainly enjoys his sessions on Small Sandiway and reports last week after baiting up he had his first run within five minutes and ended his session with a tench, a bream, and four carp. Sadly work called and headed off to work for a night shift. Ahh well that's what provides the wherewithal that buys the tackle and bait.
Eric Smith spent the day at Woodshaw on Sunday and reports that the sport was again excellent. He started off fishing dead maggot over hemp and groundbait but was having problems foul hooking fish, (looks like the peg was solid). Switching to fishing prawns along the edge of the rushes the action was more positive and he finished the day with around 30-35lb of fish, made up of crucians, the best two taking the scales down to 1-15-0 and 2-2-0, plus a lot of good quality roach in the 6- 8oz bracket, skimmers to 1.5lbs, 3 tench, and half a dozen perch.
James Brown won our Junior Woodshaw Reservoir match on Monday with 11-11-0 of crucians and roach fishing the pole and alternating between maggot and pellet. In second place Callum Cooper had a bonus common carp of 8-4-0 taken on paste plus roach for a total weight of 10-1-0.
The Disabled & Over 60's match on Monday was fished on the Bridgewater Canal at Walton and saw Jeff Clare notch up another win with a net of hybrids and skimmers for 5-4-12. Derek Bobby was second with 4-3-8.
Our Mersey Saturday Series this week saw match organiser Ray Boden edge Jimmy Byrnes into second place as Ray put 4-9-0 on the scales against Jimmy's 4-6-0. Both catches taken on the pole using maggot and were made up of perch and dace with one going to 12ozs.
The Mersey Sunday Series saw the welcome return after some absence of 'Ant Higham aka The King' who included a bonus 7lbs bream in his catch plus small perch for a decisive first win of the year with a total weight of 9-10-0. Ant took all his fish on either legered maggot or worm. Martin Lenihan was in runner-up spot with six skimmers and perch fishing the same method for 6-12-0.
