9th October 2018 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Derek Cowell and Steve McQueen both enjoyed a productive day at The Mount last Wednesday where 'the pupil' out fished the teacher. Newcomer Steve caught five carp smallest 8lb, largest about 12lb, whereas Derek had three carp, again with the biggest just over 12lb. They both fished a method feeder with 6mm and 8mm pellets as banded hook baits. In fairness Steve put his better catch down to the fact that Derek put him on the better peg just as I would do.
Ian James had a cracking days roach fishing at Appleton Reservoir this past week where he set up with a small groundbait feeder using double maggot on the hook. He reckoned that he had about 25lbs made up of some forty-five fish. Andy Strickland hit the jackpot on Friday after blanking on his previous two visits. He caught a roach on his first put-in, and pretty much a bite every cast thereafter with loads of roach 6oz to 12oz, plus one perch. His biggest surprise was the seven tench, one around 5lb, four around 4lb and two around 1.5lb. Two very happy anglers.
Our Woodshaw Reservoir Team report that this pocket-sized fishery is really fishing on top form. Regular Johnny Johnson was there again this Monday and caught fifty decent sized roach, six crucians, and a brace of bream. All fish were caught on caster.
The Sunday Mersey Series drawn at Victoria Park saw a new name on the leader board, Neil Davies, who fished pole and maggot tactics for an all roach net weighing 13-12-0. Match organiser Ray Boden fished the same method to catch a mix of roach and perch for 10-15-0.
Our Monday Disabled & Over 60's match was fished this week on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Farm Road and saw local match ace Jimmy Byrne take a decisive win with almost a 2lbs margin over second placed Alan Brown. Jimmy fished the pole alternating between pinkie and caster for a weight of 6-12-0 with Alan on 4-12-4.
Thanks to all those who have volunteered to help clear swims on the River Dane we will sort out dates after leaf fall to make the job easier. Also, thanks to the small but hard-working team who cleared weedy swims at Cicily Mill Pool this week.
