1st September, 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Joel Rees-Jones had an evening session to remember for all the right reasons on our stretch of the Ribble at Hurst Green on last Friday evening. He had nine barbel including a fist double figure fish and also a new PB of 10-3-0. He also included in his catch three chub all over 4lbs. A very happy member.
And a report from member Neil Plunkett who having a rest from his double figure barbel quest enjoyed a confidence booster session on Rixton Claypits where he caught eighteen bream ranging from 1 to 3lbs. All fell for 6mm halibut and dampened halibut micro pellets and despite trying other baits and combinations that failed to entice a single enquiry. Back to the barbel hunt now Neil.
Eric Smith was back on Ciceley Mill Pool last week where his visit on Thursday produced a tench and a bream, both over 3lbs plus four quality crucians. The following day on the same venue he started his session off again with a tench followed by six bream several of which were in the 4 to 5lbs, plus nine crucians. After a day's rest (to cut the lawns) he returned to the fishery again on Sunday catching six bream and fourteen crucians with the best at 1-12-0.
Our Disabled & Over 60's match was fished on the River Mersey this week and saw Alan Brown win with a net of roach and perch for 5-8-8 just edging out Jimmy Byrne who was a couple of fish short on 5-5-0 who had a similar catch that included a bonus skimmer bream.
Mersey match winner this past Saturday was Jimmy Byrne with seven skimmers and three bream to 7-4-0 making a total net of 17-10-0. All fish were taken on the tip using groundbait feeder and alternating between maggot and worm. Just a skimmer short of challenging Jimmy for first place was Martin Lenihan who had six skimmers and three bream for a weight of 17-6-0 using the same method.
On Sundays Mersey event despite weights being much lower than the previous day Roy Everson on his first visit to the match this season initially fished the tip to net three small skimmers but changed over to bolognaise when his swim went quiet to add roach, perch, and dace for a winning weight of 6-5-0. Martin Lenihan took another second place in as many days with 5-12-0 of roach, perch, and dace taken using pole tactics and maggot.
