17th May, 2016 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Our regular Monday Disabled & Over 60's match was fished on the Trent & Mersey Canal at School Road this week and saw Jimmy Byrne take another win with 5-8-0 of perch, skimmers, and roach. Nothing like keeping it in the family, following Dickie Wernam's win last week it was his brothers turn to frame as Keith put a nice net of caster caught roach on the scales for 4-12-0 to take second place.
Phil Hancock visited Rixton Claypits last weekend for an early morning session that started at 5am when he set up with a method feeder rig using sweetcorn. He fished until 11am during which time he caught fifteen bream ranging from 2 to 4.5lbs and six tench from 3 to 5lbs. A cheap session bait-wise and a definite red letter day.
Another early bird, Tony Rough had a short three and a half hour session on the Mount at Buckley on Saturday morning. He started fishing at 5-30am using an inline maggot feeder and triple maggot on the hook. After a couple of casts it was a bite a chuck from quality roach and perch, plus three tench to 3lb. Tony was still catching when he had to tear himself away at 9am to drive his daughter to work. I would have probably suggested a bus!
Paul Floyd decided on a change of tactics during his overnight session at Grey Mist last Friday when in place of the accepted boilies he opted for popped-up mixers aka dog biscuits. By 6-30am the sun was up and time to head for home but during his session he had caught carp of 12-14-0, 14-5-0, 15-3-0, 16-6-0, topped by one of 17lbs exactly and added three tench to 5-9-0.
Grey Mist is still producing quality tench albeit I snatched two hours on Tuesday evening but blanked, still it was peaceful sitting there watching the member opposite land three olive green red eyed beauties. I definitely need to get out more.
