22nd December 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

22nd December, 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

There was some action at Grey Mist Mere last week with one of our young anglers I have no doubt being quite pleased with his fish of over 22lbs. Our volunteer team will be at the Northern Angling show again in February and would more than welcome any of your catch shots from our fisheries for our display.

Neil Buist fished a groundbait feeder and maggot to win our Sunday Mersey Series with 5-4-0 made up of three skimmer bream to 1lb plus small roach. Weights then dropped and some struggled for a bite which is not surprising with the recent problems at Howley Weir but Jim Gannon who is in the frame most weeks made runner-up spot with 2-9-0 fishing the same method.

Our Monday Disabled & Over 60's match on the Bridgewater Canal followed the fish back to the 'Dead Length' again where it is known the fish congregate. Even though it is quite mild for the time of the year it is no fun sitting on a fishing box for four or five hours and watching a motionless float. Eventually you start imagining bites which only increases the frustration as you keep missing them! No such problem for Alan Brown as he put together a net of roach and skimmers taken on pole and bread punch from peg 336 for a winning weight of 5-5-0. It was a close run thing when second placed Ron Durr weighed his catch at 5-4-8. Eighteen fished producing a fair number of 3lbs plus weights and most over 2lbs.   

A very merry Christmas to everyone. Please note HQ is closed until Friday 8^th January 2016. You can still email me details of any catches to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or you can ring me on 01928 716238.
