6th September, 2016 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Ian stringer enjoyed a good session on the Mount at Buckley last week where he set out with the intention of targeting the roach but ended up with a right mixed bag of eight carp to 12lbs, three tench, some cracking red fins to around the pound and a half mark, and a solitary perch that weighed at 2-10-0 and took single maggot. Ian fished both the tip with a groundbait feeder, and the pole both methods with maggot on the hook.
Following his last week's success Mike Pritchard was back on the Mersey again this week where he had between seventy and eighty roach and perch from peg nine. Light waggler and loose-fed maggots close in kept the fish coming steadily throughout his session with some of the roach between 6 and 8ounces.
Pole and maggot did it again for Ray Boden to take another win on our popular Mersey Series on
Saturday to make it three in a row with 8-13-0 of roach, skimmers, and perch. Second placed Alan Birchall fished pole and caster targeting the better stamp of roach for 7-13-0. I don't normally mention third outside of the results but committee member Mike Dench who is a game angler came in at third with 5-1-0. I promised I would give him a mention when he catches his first salmon of the year but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Martin Lenihan won our Sunday Mersey match after coming second three times with a net of perch and skimmers to 12ounces taken on pole maggot. Derek Bibby was the runner-up with 7-14-0 on the same method.
Our Disabled & Over 60's match was fished again on the River Mersey at Victoria Park was won by veteran angler Jimmy Byrne with 6-9-0 of roach and perch. George Barber who left his bread punch at home came second with a weight of 5-9-0.
