15th May, 2018 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Reports that sport on the small lake at Sandiway has picked up a pace, overnight Thursday/Friday eight carp were landed to 25lbs plus and one angler targeting bream and tench had caught seven bream and eleven tench and he was booked on for a further 24 hours. Evidently, he was fishing maggots and corn in a big feeder and was spodding out extra feed. The large lake is slower with only three known carp out this week to 30lbs, however Andrew Hewson reports six tench from 6 to 9lbs taken on pineapple pop-ups. Again, on the small lake Friday/Saturday night produced seven carp to 25lbs with two 30lbs plus. Now the disappointing news that on a Saturday check by our bailiffs five members cards were seized when they were found in possession of alcohol.
Chris Connell reports starting his session on Mowpin by first rescuing a fledgling that had become entitled in undergrowth and waited until it was collected by its mother. Finally choosing his peg he set up a pole and fed corn, hemp, and meat in the margin with maggots at 12 metres. His first fish was a crucian followed by a further twenty-six, eight roach, and all was going well as the chub started to feed but everything was cut short when a passing dog walker allowed the animal to jump on and break Chris's number seven section. Ouch!
With the carp busy spawning in the reeds at Ackers Pit regular column contributor, Mike Pritchard found bites hard to come by ending his session with three rudd and seven roach topped by a 4lbs tench. At least Mike you got out fishing!
This week our Monday at our Disabled & Over 60's match was fished on the Bridgewater Canal at Moore Village where weights were nothing to write home about. George Hollis won with 3-3-10 which included a bonus 2.5lbs bream. Geoff Brooks took the runner-up spot with 2-6-4 made up of skimmers and roach.
Your catch reports are always welcome, but more important, it is nice to let follow members know how waters are fishing. Please email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or give me a ring on 01928 716238.
