13th August 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

13^th August 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

All match results have improved this week and the Mersey where anglers really struggled early in the season has now settled down to provide consistent sport. Ray Bowden showed his mastery fishing the pole and notched yet another win with a mixed net10-3-0 and almost 2lbs clear of runner up Al Morris. Forth placed Paul Hitchen managed the eerie weight of 666!

Disabled & Over 60's winner George Barber included a bonus bream of 3.5lbs in his winning weight of 5-8-12 and the Minnows Series saw more fish come to the scales with Andrew Carman taking the top spot with 4-1-0 and Ethan Owen not too far behind on 3-11-5.

Ian Robinson reports catch of eleven carp taken on floating bred crust from High Legh Fisheries. Whilst the best fish was estimated at only 8lbs they gave a good account of themselves as he was using a 13ft waggler rod and 4lbs hook length. You either love or hate this tiny fishery but there is one thing for sure it is set in nice surroundings and is capable of good sport on the day.

Although his first visit to Ackers Pit the fishery is George Deakins idea of Eldorado, handy parking and plenty of sport. Fishing a light waggler and alternating between 6mm pellet and maggot he estimated that he had a mixed net of tench, roach, perch, and four carp of about 4lbs apiece. The roach are really plump and along with the tench which have bred, the latter evident by the small olive green 'bars of soap' that are being caught. Our peg improvement is ongoing with our small band of working party volunteers. If you fancy helping on this project or anything else for that matter please get in touch and I will pass on you details to committee member Reg Lewis

6th August 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

6^th August 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

On Sunday morning Chris Grehan gave the club an insight into what the middle of the three pools at Offa's Dyke Fisheries can produce. It had not been fished for some considerable time as I understand and Chris drafted in at short notice was only armed with a few pellets. Nevertheless within a few minutes he was ripped off and immediately beefed up his end tackle. He ended up with four carp to 6lbs and around forty roach to just over a pound. One down and two to go! Although not yet open to members I will keep you informed.

The working party have formed a management group for this complex and the Mount at Buckley which is close by. If you fancy getting involved in the work on the pools just turn up at 9am on Sunday morning. Post Code CH7 4LQ and entrance gate on the right by the traffic lights.

Anthony Simpson reports catching a fin perfect mirror carp of 19-8-0 from Moore Quarry on Sunday. It fell for a pink boilie fished in the margin. He also spotted some really large tench and bream during his session. Another member landed a bream of 7-2-0.

There are a couple of anglers that have started targeting the tiny River Gowy with some quite pleasing results. A quiet approach and changing swims as bites slowed saw some nice roach and perch come to the net. This river definitely does hold a few surprises.

The Mersey match on Sunday saw an upturn in catches with winner Roy Everson putting a bream and roach catch on the scales for 13-7-0.  You needed double figures to get in the money.

Worthington Lakes are worth a trip because with catches of thirty plus bream and quality roach you will soon forget about the walk to Adlington or Arley, although the latter is the one producing the bream to maggot and feeder tactics.  The walk is on flat well surfaced paths so just take a trolley or simply what you need and not the kitchen sink.
