My 1st point of this week`s blog unfortunately is a warning to anglers who insist on breaking the rules.
Rule 13 No tents, fires, disposable barbeques, single use bottles or cans/tins/plastic packaging etc are allowed on any of our fisheries
Rule 23 No alcohol, drugs (other than those medically prescribed to that member), solvents, or other like substances are to be taken or consumed on our fisheries. Similarly, persons under the influence of these will be in breach of this rule and will in both instances face expulsion.
Myself and Head Bailiff spent a day this week filling a 7-tonne skip with 80% of exactly these items along with un-mentionable items and approximately 15% of items brought onto site to dump this is not acceptable and you will be dealt with severely if caught there are no excuses bailiffs have been asked to be more vigilant.
Back to what this blog should be about, David Tomkinson was back on Grey Mist this week where once again he sacked up on Tench eager for his bait. Using pellet feeder tactics with homemade boilies he added another 16 of these fish to his tally 2 over the 8lbs bracket, I may need to bend his ear for some tips.
Dave Garner and companion Ken were out on Woodshaw, Ken fished peg 4 catching Roach & Perch to 8oz using pole & feeder. Dave opted for Wagler & Feeder and ended with a real mixed bag of Roach, Skimmers, Perch & Chub all in all a pleasant 6 hours fishing in has Dave put it superb surroundings.
This brings me to the best bit the magical 16th has I wright this there is a tinge of sadness that I may not be able to fish the 1st day of the river season due to other commitments or even the 1st association match. I will however make time to have a wander along the Mersey at some point, good luck to all who have been waiting because of an outdated Law to fish again.
The Disabled & over 60`s match this week was at Daresbury where plenty of Roach and silver Bream were in most catches. Richie Baker also managed a couple of big Skimmers a pound each helping himself too top spot, The ever-consistent Jimmy Byrnes taking 2nd place with 50 small silver fish and a small Skimmer. Top 3 weights came from behind the laboratory`s with best bates being bread & Pinkie
*Please note carp are starting to spawn on some lakes DO NOT cast to these fish and do not cross or remove tape that is there to prevent you fishing or you will be dealt with by the Management Committee*
