7th March, 2017 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Two members were banned at our committee meeting this week, one for litter (excrement) left behind his peg and the other for fishing overnight without booking on and driving his vehicle out of bounds. In the first instance, I would remind members that they are responsible for their own lavatory needs which they should dispose of at home. It is a simple matter and without going into detail it is not exactly rocket science. As regards night permit holders booking on either by phone call or text please ensure you have a decent signal for venues such as Sandiway and Moore Quarry because if we do not receive your message you are not booked on.
There is a working party at Grey Mist Mere at 10am on Saturday and the water is closed for the day. Only those members that take part may book on for the night session. It is mainly a clean-up and a few pegs tidied. For the record a few carp and tench were caught over the weekend, the best just nudging over 20lbs.
The Sunday River Mersey match this week was really hard with bites scarce to come by and to top it all it was pouring down with rain and miserable. Winner, Eddie Frangleton tempted 12 tiny roach on a ground bait feeder and maggot for 1-5-0 followed in second place by match organiser Ray Boden who weighed 1-1-0. It is the last match of the season next Sunday as our rivers close for coarse fishing on the 14th March for three months. I say it every year but it is high time this anomaly was addressed by the Environment Agency. It would be a simple matter for them to commission a full survey of licence holding anglers. The question is quite simple, Open or Closed?
There was a shock of the best sort on our Bridgewater Canal Disabled and Over 60's match on Monday at Grappenhall. It was the first time this year that the venue had been match fished so the winning weight of 31-8-0 caught by Graham Stokes rather came out of the blue. It just happened to also be Graham's debut on this regular series where fishing bread at 11metres he landed ten bream to 4lbs. Second placed Roy Rogers had one bream weighing 3-12-0. There were hardly any roach caught.
WAA Headquarters at 52, Parker Street are open as usual every Friday between 7 & 9pm for new members, subscriptions, night permit renewals, and any queries. Please email catch details to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or give me a ring on 01928 716238.
