28^th August 2008 - Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

A catch and a half was the outcome for eight year old Lewis Anderson on a night session last Monday on Grey Mist. Judging by the pictures Lewis probably weighed in nearly his own weight in quality carp! This keen young angler accompanied by his Dad Bernard had four carp three doubles and then to top things off a 21lb 6. They were all caught and landed by the eight year old himself with his Dad standing by just to net the fish and then to supervise the weighing and photography.

All were caught using Nash Scopex Squid Liver boilies and a size 8 Nash fang X hook tied to Nash 15lb Ultra silk hooklink. Lewis caught three other fish before he wound his rods in at midnight. The other fish were all mirrors between 11lb and 16lb all fish were caught from the 'double post' swim all were landed between 6pm and midnight. The pictures will be on the web site shortly.

Despite being down two feet on Saturday the Mersey fished well on Sundays match with good catches of roach, perch and skimmers thirteen anglers who weighed in had a combined weight of 83lb. Ray Boden was out in front with his net of 15lb 3oz of perch and quality roach all caught

at 10 meters on pole.

The Dane was in form over the weekend, carrying a bit of water and the fish were feeding Bailiff Ron Williams had a short `fishing' visit as opposed to his usual working visits, in two hours he had six chub best 4.5lb all on big lumps of luncheon meat.

A reel has been found at Statham pool recently so if the owner would like to get in touch we can reunite him with it.

21^st August 2008 - Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

Thanks to the efforts of a small but conscientious band of volunteers and bailiffs who spent days clearing up litter deposited by other so called anglers at Grey Mist Mere the fishery is now open. I have received supportive comments from lots of members who likewise are simply fed up with the mindless minority who are responsible. No excuses, in future if there is litter on your peg it is down to you irrespective if it was there when you arrived. The situation is needless to say being closely monitored.

Last month due to a computer glitch we missed a junior 'catch of the month' entry submitted by Liam Gaskell. The situation has now been rectified and Liam will receive £50 of Bait Tech bait, a Korda carp care kit, and a certificate for his 2-1-0 crucien carp from Woodshaw Reservoir. Keep those entries rolling in for the August competition.

Only half a dozen anglers were mad enough to turn out for Sundays Mersey match series which was abandoned due to the flood conditions. The hardy band decided to use their bait on a pleasure session at Appleton Reservoir with some astounding results. The majority of fish were caught on feeder tactics and consisted of mainly quality roach to 1lb and a few perch. Lee Clark stuck to the pole method and had well over double figures being ripped of a number of times. If you fish this water a platform would be an asset as the water levels are currently high.

Sandiway small lake has been popular whilst Grey Mist was closed and quite a few carp have been showing up. Clive Wilson fished the pole at 12 metres for a catch of thirteen bream averaging just over 5lbs and three tench, best 6-8-0. He fished a pre-baited swim with corn on the hook.

Good reports from the Trent & Mersey Canal where catches of up to eight hybrids ranging from 2 to 2.5lbs taken pole tactics and small pieces of meat. The sedges at Anderton are also producing good nets of quality roach and perch to caster.
