9th April 2019 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Kyle Tilbury has recently re-joined Warrington Anglers after a seven-year spell away from the sport and decided on Grey Mist to mark his return. On Saturday there was nothing happening, not even a sign of a fish, but determined to 'crack it' he was back on the bank on Monday after work for a few hours. Again, no action whatsoever but undeterred he was back the following day and was finally rewarded with a double figure common and on Wednesday he landed a leather, whilst on Thursday he managed to bag himself a mirror. Kyle used simple multi rigs and all fish have fell to a simple snowman presentation. Tom Fahey also enjoyed his Sunday evening session landing a 17lb 2oz Common Carp from the fishery on Sunday taken on Sticky Baits Krill boilie.
Neil Plunkett braved a cold wind that swept across our Cicily Mill Pool on Tuesday and had to move swims three times to find the fish. He ended his session with fourteen roach with some in the 6 to 8oz bracket plus a crucian of 2lbs. Fish were caught on single maggot using both waggler and a small groundbait feeder. Chatting to our bailiff they both came to the conclusion that for sport to really switch on a few weeks of warmer weather was needed.
Ste Pielow caught a nice looking 19lbs mirror from Appleton Reservoir on Tuesday Morning and shared it on our Facebook group along with catch details which really is one of the prime reasons for the group. Thanks Ste and wish more members would be more forthcoming with such information.
The Bridgewater Canal is always worth a visit for some predator action with either pike or perch and Elwyn Jones wasn't disappointed when drop-shotting at Statham on Sunday. He landed a brace of stripeys of 2-4-0 and 2-6-0 and lost a decent pike at the net which took a liking to his small lure.
The Monday Disabled & Over 60's match on the Bridgewater Canal at Hough's Bridge was won this week by George Barber with an all roach catch of 3-5-11. I haven't got method details but I will lay odds that he was using bread, hence his handle of The Breadman and possibly pinkies for good measure. Alan Brown was in second place with 2-0-9.
Keep those catch reports coming, good, bad, or indifferent as they help follow members to weigh up how waters are fishing to plan their outings. And equally important they give me something to write about! Email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or give me a ring on 01928 716238.
WAA Headquarters at 52, Parker Street are open as usual every Friday between 7 & 9pm. New members are welcome to call in and join, current ones can renew their subscription, or night permit.
