Scott Broadhurst decided to spend a morning on Rixton this week, in between missing bites due to the amount of wildlife he was watching he managed a nice net of fish. Float fishing sweetcorn, he managed 2 Bream, 1 Tench and a load of Roach.
Wayne Stuart-Cole embarked on a trip to what must be his favourite River, the mighty Ribble. Having been out fishing with Wayne in the past I'm sure he would have been in search Barbel. He set up his 40-year-old rod with a 16mm Halibut pellet on a running ledger rig with some free offerings but unfortunately, he was to end his session with only one Chub but a nice one at 5lbs 4ozs. Better luck next time Wayne I`m sure it won't be too far away.
Gregg James has sent a report in this week from Appleton Reservoir which made me re-read his report more than a couple of times. Fishing an Orange Norther special on a bed of particles he landed four carp with the biggest a Mirror carp of 42lbs 2ozs using his own words I never even knew fish of that size were in there. Staying with Appleton, Phillip Brown also had a session this week fishing at 40/50 meters with corn hook bait he managed to snare two carp both around the 15lbs mark with 20 Roach up to 1lbs 8oz on float fished corn close in.
This week`s Match on the Bridgewater saw Paul Ashton travel across from Manchester to demonstrate how to catch Skimmers for the locals using worm & caster opposite Daresbury Laboratory, second on the day was Ron Durr who also caught Skimmers but of a smaller size. Geoff Brookes took the third place with a Skimmer and twenty backup Roach & Perch.
This week`s Mersey match was held on Mersey Walk; this is where Neil Buist AKA The Engine just manage to edge out myself by 10ozs when he placed 10lbs 3ozs on the scales. Both Neil and I had similar nets of Skimmers, Roach, Perch and Dace, my switch to fishing the last 40 minutes on the feeder for a Bream nearly paid off until the hook pulled from what felt like a decent and only fish in that period. Harry Billing had a lovely net of mainly Roach for third.
*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*
