10th March 2020 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Looks like the tench fishing at Grey Mist is switching on early as usual with a number of fish reported in the flooded conditions, notably fish of 5-10-0 and 6-2-0 which kicked off Charlie Graylings start to 2020 for these olive coloured beauties. Despite the secrecy I am informed that carp are also on the feed.
Mike McCarthy caught a couple of small carp from the Mount at Buckley where he reckons that there are only about four swims fishable due to flooded conditions. I hear that some members are doing the opposite of a rain dance in the hope that things improve!
There was a hurriedly organised match on the Mersey on Sunday which saw eleven turn out at short notice. Jimmy Byrne was the winner with a hybrid and roach for 2-1-0 caught on ground-bait feeder and maggot. Derek Bibby was second with 1-8-0.
The Monday Disabled and Over 60's Match moved this week to the Trent & Mersey Canal at Billinge in the hope that catches would improve. Fourteen hopefuls turned out and all caught fish but they were mainly tiny gudgeon and roach. Match organiser Jimmy Byrne was the winner with forty gudgeon and small roach for a weight of 0-14-0, less than a third of the previous week's 3-3-0 from Hough's Bridge. Richie Baker was second with 0-9-10. Never mind, back on the Bridgewater at Walton next week.
