18th September 2018 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Our bailiff Andrew Hewson doesn't mind sharing information on his catches with fellow members. He reports a catch from his session on large Sandiway last week of three tench to 11-4-0, four bream with the best a real specimen at 16-9-0, and one carp 24lbs.
Two cracking mirror carp were caught at Moore Quarry on Monday this week weighing in at 28-4-0 and 32-6-0. Notably a hard carp water so a session to savoir, but for whatever reason members overlook the quality roach, tench, bream, perch, and pike in the fishery and set in scenic surroundings a few miles out of Warrington.
Lucas Procec not only carries out valuable voluntary work on our Phoenix Park fishery but finds time for a spot of fishing occasionally. He reports during a recent morning session he managed to bag a bream of 9lbs, five tench in the 4-5 pound range, and three carp just over 10 pound each. Great fishing and a just reward.
The lilies at Grey Mist Mere were treated this week and thankfully the weather was in our favour giving the plants time to absorb the herbicide. Fingers crossed. We will be taking off the seed bulbs early next week to help prevent further spread. Whilst at the fishery I witnessed the mess left by a fly-tipper with a key, as presumably the gate would have been locked. We cleaned up a full tipper load the following day and there is still more to remove. As a consequence, from now on members musk keep both barriers closed at all times.
Our Saturday Mersey Match Series fished at the Kingsway Allotments stretch saw Derek Bibby again put another winning net of roach and perch on the scales for a weight of 15-7-0. He caught all his fish using pole and maggot tactics. Match organiser Ray Boden also held on again to second place fishing the same method for 13-10-0.
The Sunday Mersey Series drawn again at Mersey Walk brought saw Derek Bibby clock up yet another win with a superb weight of 21-3-0 of roach, perch, and hybrids taken on pole and maggot. Jimmy Byrne took second place with 17-15-0 of roach and skimmers taken groundbait feeder and maggot.
Our Monday Disabled & Over 60's match was fished this week on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Billinge where Pip Woodier won with a weight of 4-9-4. He had a roach and perch catch alternating between maggot and caster. In what was a very close match Ron Durr took second place with 4-4-2. Nineteen fished.
