12th April 2022 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Ian Brodie and his son Rowan 8 years enjoyed their very first visit to The Mount at Buckley on Monday for an overnight session. The excited youngster was made up with their first carp which came at teatime and was followed by two further carp during the night. All fell for a small Munch Bait boilie over a bed of pellet. Watch this space as I reckon that it won't be too long before Rowan is catching some decent specimens…..you have competition dad!
Our Head Bailiff Jay Makin was really over the moon with his Monday overnight session on Grey Mist this week notching up two species PB's with a carp of 26lbs and a tench weighing in at 10-3-0. After carp had been avoiding him all year his first one came at 6-50pm to which he added a three further carp of 22, 24, and 25lbs plus two tench to his total catch. He had been feeding one weed-free swim over the past few sessions in the hope that it would produce and bingo, it did with a vengeance. All fish were caught over a bed of Cell boilies and 4mm pellets with a single Cell dumbbell and a piece of fake corn on the hook.
Still on the Mist, Phil Brown was into the tench on Saturday when he caught three, so they are definitely on the feed. A repeat session on Tuesday 12th saw him land one and lose another. He caught on method feeder using Krill method mix with 50% micro-pellets.
Our popular Monday Disabled & Over 60's Match was fished on the Bridgewater Canal this week at Preston Brook. Again, it was mainly an all-roach affair, caught using bread punch with just the odd tiny perch on pinkie. Our accurate scales indicated a joint win with Neil Buist aka The Engine repeating his previous weeks success but having to share it on this occasion with match organiser Jimmy Byrne both putting identical roach catches on the scales to weigh 3-7-0. George Barbour more notably known as The Breadman who I checked practicing on this local length of the canal last week when he had caught a net-full of roach took third place with 3-4-0. Eighteen anglers turned out.
Working parties this past week saw our small but select group of volunteers out re-building and improving pegs at both Sandiway Large Lake and Phoenix Park Lake. On behalf of our members thanks guys. Don't forget any member who would like to become involved and help is more than welcome, simply turn up.
Our WAA Headquarters at 52, Parker Street, Warrington WA1 1LT remains closed on Friday evenings but members can simply post to this address or put their membership book or request in an envelope with their payment and a stamped addressed envelope, through our HQ door at 52, Parker Street, Warrington WA1 1LT where mail is collected and dealt with most days. Alternatively, you can post to Warrington Anglers Association PO. Box 71, Warrington WA1 1LR where mail is collected weekly.
There haven't been many catch reports from members this week, so I really would welcome info of your visits to any of our fisheries, many members rely on them as markers for their visits to the bankside. Email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or give me a ring on 01928 716238
