29th August, 2017 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Mike Dench is an all-round angler enjoying all aspects of our sport, last week he was salmon fishing on the River Ribble and Bank Holiday Monday saw him targeting the bream on Budworth Mere. He started off his session by introducing half a dozen Jaffa sized balls of groundbait which he topped up regularly whilst waiting for the bronze beauties to find his feed. Casting a heavy slider and double maggot he was soon into roach to just over a pound and then out of the blue bingo, his first bream, soon followed by another. Changing over to a feeder everything went quiet, nothing, not a twitch. Thankfully a change to worm saw eight more bream in the net, all between 6 to 8lbs.
Paul Bibby reports having 'a field day' at Ackers Pit on Saturday catching mainly small roach in the 2 to 6oz bracket. It was back to basics using his favourite method of running line with a flat one-inch peacock like we used to years ago. As Paul said, he enjoyed a no hassle, easy fishing, and relaxing day, despite having to watch a pair of feeding cormorants that rested occasionally on the footpath undeterred by people or dogs walking past.
On Monday, our Disabled & Over 60's match was on the Mersey as a change from the Bridgewater Canal and saw Alan Brown make the most of an end peg draw. He fished pole and maggot to secure a win with a net of roach and small skimmers for 5lbs exactly. Bud Lee was second with 4-1-7.
Weaver veteran Rod Frazer won our Mersey Tuesday series match with 10-9-0 of roach and perch caught on the usual pole and maggot. Ray Boden was the runner-up with 10-3-0. Ray upped his game and won our Saturday Mersey match with a weight of 10-9-0 of roach, perch, Runner-up Ade Green was second with a weight of 6-4-0. Both anglers fished pole and maggot.
Weights were well down on our Sunday Mersey Series which was won by Neil Buist with 3-10-0 made up of half a dozen skimmers, roach, and perch caught on both feeder and pole methods with maggot at the business end. Ed Frangleton was second with 3-7-0.
