27th October 2020 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Trevor Royle and three other bailiffs decided on a well-deserved night session at Grey Mist last Wednesday following a work party on the fishery. Well, as the story goes two caught and two who didn't and swear that Trevor was using some secret bait! He ended the session with four fish topped by 'Houdini' at a weight of 28lbs. Fish were caught using a KD rig with a bright orange wafter over a bed of 2kg of boilies at 40 yards. Mike O'Dea had two mirrors the first being 14lbs and the second at 20lb 3oz, both were taken on Dynamite monster tiger nut wafters fished on blowback rigs over crushed and broken boilies soaked in the Monster Tiger Nut bait soak.
Ian Rose fished Woodshaw Reservoir on Friday and found it hard going with not a bite for the first hour. Then small roach started feeding and he had eight taken on pole and single pinkie at 9metres before he struck into what he expected was another roach but his elastic went to full stretch and ten minutes later a cracking crucian lay in his landing net. Only a few more roach followed but Ian was more than happy with his session.
The Sunday Mersey Match Series was fished this week on the Mersey Walk stretch which saw the river swollen and coloured, definitely not ideal conditions and not surprising that members found bites few and far between. Local rod Derek Bibby stuck it out on the feeder and maggot to win with the lowest Mersey weight for some time with 3-5-0 of small roach. Jimmy Byrne took second place with only an ounce separating them when the scales stopped at 3-4-0. He fished the tip but changed later to pole at 5metres.
Our popular Disabled & Over 60's Monday match was fished by eighteen members this week on the Bridgewater Canal at Houghs Bridge. The canal 'fished its head off' according to winner and match organiser Jimmy Byrne. He drew a peg in 'the dead length' near the bridge and caught around a hundred small roach plus a few perch alternating between pinkie, maggot, and caster for a weight of 7-6-0. Second placed angler Rod Fraser drew the opposite end of the stretch and had a similar mix of fish for 7-4-0. Weights averaged out at over 4.5lbs per angler.
