ON Friday we will be stocking carp from VS Fisheries into our Association-owned waters of Grey Mist Mere, Rixton Claypits and Sandiway Lakes.

So popular are the strains of fish supplied by this company to be certain of getting fish our orders are made two years in advance.

C4s are destined for Sandiway small lake and C6s for the larger fishery with a batch of C5s for Moore Quarry and Grey Mist Mere.

We start at Grey Mist Mere between 10.30 and 11am dependant on traffic conditions. Members who wish to attend are more than welcome.

On the carp scene, there is not too much action at present but bucking the trend is our bailiff Daz, who fishes The Mount at Buckley.

In the past week or so he has caught 47 fish to upper doubles using boilies or corn and feeding small samples in a mesh PVA bag. Worth a visit as the fishery produces some stunning roach over the magical 2lbs mark, quality tench and bream.

Our Pairs Series, organised by Geoff Stoll, was fished on the Macclesfield Canal at Scholar Green following a hard overnight frost and saw the individual win taken by Bob Clough with 4-7-0, followed by Phil Cross with 2-15-11. Graham Belton and his partner in crime George Barber now have two pairs points wins under their belt, this week with 4 to add to the perfect score of 2 the previous week.

Weights were down on our Saturday Sweepstake match, won for successive weeks by Jimmy Byrne with a net made up of a bonus 10oz perch plus small roach for 2-2-0. Derek Bibby was second with an all roach catch for 1-14-0.

Jimmy Gannon who was third on the river the previous day won our Mersey Sunday Series match taking a bonus 1lb skimmer backed up by small roach taken on punched bread for a combined weight of 4-2-0. Martin Lenihan missed out on any bonus fish but was in the runner-up spot with an all roach catch taken on maggot for 3-7-0.

As the colder unsettled weather continues our Disabled & Over 60s match on Monday was again a struggle for most anglers. Roach dominated the top two weights with an all perch net also in the frame. Alan Brown was the winner with 3-12-0 followed by Lenny Dutton with 2-11-12.
