4th April 2023 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Chris Roberts along with his fishing mate Lee Prydderch fished a two-night session on Rixton Claypits last weekend but after nothing to show for their efforts on Friday night they decided to move to the other side of the fishery. Result was an old warrior of a mirror carp of 20lbs for Chris who was on only his second visit to a WAA fishery since joining, having first of all enjoyed a great carp session on The Mount at Buckley. The mirror took a fancy to his 'Sent from Hell' 15mm pop-up boilie on which he hooked three more carp, landing two commons and losing the other. Lee missed out on the carp, after losing one in the weed, but six bream to around the 4lbs mark saved him from a dry net.
John Manley on his second session on our Association owned Small Sandiway Lake managed a 21lbs mirror to save him from a blank. The fish took a Mainline Hi-Viz clockwork orange boilie over a bed of particles. There are quite a few fish showing and hopefully will be getting their heads down feeding as the weather improves.
Nice to see Phil Brown (on my phone contacts as 'the Tench Specialist') back on Grey Mist last week for another session targeting the tincas. Result was no tench but he was more than happy to land a 16.5lbs mirror carp on a method feeder rig. See you soon at the skateboard park Phil 😊
Mike Pritchard was out on the Bridgewater for his regular weekly Saturday session but bites were very few and far between. He ended up with a total of fifteen roach, best 6oz and the smallest perch that he had ever caught. He fished a homemade waggler using pinkie. Ackers Pit next week Mike?
The Monday Disabled & Over 60's match this week was fished on the Bridgewater Canal at Beech Road, Stockton Heath which was in the canal match heyday a go-to length for some good catches…well not so this week. Pete Jones drew to the right of the famous Pear Tree peg and ended up the winner with thirty small roach for a weight of 2-10-0 all caught on bread. Jeff Stoll took the runner-up spot with 1-13-0. Seventeen anglers fished.
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.
Please get in touch as your catch reports which are especially welcome at this time of the year as sport slows and not as many of you are out on the banks. Lots of members rely on your shared information for their angling visits. Email secretary@warrington-anglers.org.uk
