3rd May, 2016 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Our Disabled & Over 60's regulars were given a day off on bank holiday Monday but the match fished at Preston Brook the previous week saw George Barber make it three in a row as he topped the weights for the third consecutive week with a net of silver fish for 4-6-4 taken on pole and punched bread tactics. Runner-up was match organiser Jimmy Byrne with 3-13-0. It was nice to see Alf Seddon out and about again and especially as he made the frame and collected some winnings. Please note the change of venue to the Trent & Mersey Canal for Monday's match.
Eric Smith enjoyed a tench session on Grey Mist last week accompanied by his mate 'Fishless Fletcher' and ended up with six tench to 6-6-0 and a 3lbs pike that took a fancy to three red maggots as he was reeling in. As for 'Fishless' he also caught a tench that sent the scales round to just over 4lbs and has now doubled his amount of fish caught since he landed his PB crucian from Cicily Mill last September!
Eric was back on the Mist on Thursday and enjoyed his best tench fishing ever when over four visits he landed ten over 6lbs and three over 7lbs including a PB of 7-6-0 but lost a much bigger fish at the net when it slipped the hook. He was joined by his grandson Callum on Sunday who also managed a brace of fish of 6lbs and 6-10-0.
Worthington is still on my 'to visit' list as it is still producing some great bream sport to groundbait feeder tactics. Often overlooked as a carp fishery despite few decent sized fish reported this week.
Please note that all anglers visiting Appleton Reservoir must park in our locked car park and not at the roadside. Bailiffs have been instructed to report offenders and the Police have been alerted who will prosecute for breaches of parking regulations. As a club we enjoy an excellent relationship with local residents and are determined that it will not be spoiled by a few inconsiderate individuals.
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.
