31st May, 2016 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Match organiser Jimmy Byrne took first place in our regular Monday Disabled & Over 60's match fished on the Bridgewater Canal at Acton Grange Bridge. With fish everywhere in spawning mode and tightly shoaled at various breeding hotspots it really was a struggle to tempt even the smaller immature ones to feed. Jimmy needed only 1-12-8 to take the main money. Runner-up was no surprise as the man is currently on fire, Dickie Wernham with 1-4-0. I have no doubt that there will be a few more low weight matches until the fish are cleaned off and looking for food.
After a slow start due to the recent Bank Holiday our members only Woodshaw Junior Summer League commences in earnest on Monday 6th June 2016 and consists of a weekly eight match series fished on a points basis with an extra ninth match as a 'Fun BBQ match' and prize presentation. The series will also incorporate six separate cup matches as listed in you membership card on page 15. So you have a match within a match, therefore as well as fishing for overall points competitors will also be fishing an individual cup match with the first three anglers on weight receiving engraved trophies. All youngster who fish the series will qualify for a prize so what have you got to lose ….it's all to fish for.
Paul Barraclough ventured onto Statham Pool last Wednesday for a quick afternoon session. He enjoyed good sport with loads of roach, two Eels, a brace of small carp, a nice tench of 4-12-0, and for good measure ended his afternoon with a small pike taken on red pellet. Result, an enjoyable busy session and home in time for tea.
Following last weekend's debacle at Sandiway Lakes members are reminded that it is a condition of membership (rule 8) that all anglers must be in possession of a current Environment Agency license. There is no excuse.
Also members seem to forget that every card holder is authorised (see rear cover of license) to challenge any person fishing in any water rented or owned by the Association, or committing any act not in accordance with the rules. The bottom line is it is your club, do not simply leave it to the bailiffs if you see anything untoward, they after all cannot be everywhere at once and are volunteers who care for the wellbeing of our club.
Our headquarters at 52, Parker Street are open as usual every Friday between 7 & 9pm for new members, subscription and night permit renewals, and any queries. Your catch reports are always welcome, email me details to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or ring me on 01928 716238.
