17th December 2019 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Our Mersey Series on Sunday at Victoria Park saw Ade Green take his first win of the year on what was the last river match of 2019 with a weight of 1-6-0 made up of small roach taken on feeder and maggot tactics. Yes, it was hard fishing but despite the scarcity of bites the competition was still as intense and a win is a win! Second place was taken by Roy Everson with 0-14-0. Further matches will be advertised in the New Year.
Our Bridgewater taster match last Saturday at Boothstown produced some really good winter Canal results which saw Bob Campbell putting together a winning catch of skimmers and roach for 11-1-0. Warburtons bread was the bait of the day, liquidised and sieved, with punched bread on the hook. Dave Brookes took second place with an all roach net weighing in at 9-8-0. It is on again on Saturday, see details below in coming events.
Our Monday Disabled and Over 60's Match on the Bridgewater Canal was drawn this week on the bank opposite the Walton Arms. Winner, Alan Brown who drew a peg adjacent to Walton Gardens Bridge alternated between bread and caster for an all roach catch of 7-4-10. Dave Hill was on the opposite side of the bridge where he fished bread but a change to pinkie brought more fish and second place with a weight of 6-0-2. Eighteen anglers fished.
This is the time of year when there are not many anglers on the banks so I would really welcome any catch reports good, bad, or indifferent as these help fellow members to know how waters are fishing and plan their outings. 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.
