ANOTHER of the Gannon family took their first win of 2015 in our Mersey Saturday Sweepstake.

This time it was Norman’s turn with 11-8 (five roach), closely followed by match organiser Ray Boden with 10-8 (seven roach).

The Mersey Sunday Series Match was won by Ray with seven roach for 1-0-0, with Alan Morris second with three roach for 12-0.

Our Disabled and over 60s match on Monday saw Graham Belton notch up his first win of 2015 from the Dead Length on the Bridgewater Canal.

Fish normally shoal here each year for the winter, but on this occasion bites were hard to come by and Graham needed only 1-5-2 to take the top spot.

Runner-up was match regular Jimmy Byrne with an equally grim weight of 1-3-6.

Only perch were caught - surely it can’t get any worse?

A few of the newly-stocked carp are being caught from Grey Mist Mere, although not a lot is happening elsewhere despite good numbers of hopeful members on the banks of our fisheries.

One stands out and that is the Mount at Buckley where there is a working party on Sunday.

While they are working on the car park, the fishery will be closed as there is no other parking available there.

Unless a miracle happens, it looks as though the diving club survey planned for Saturday on Moore Quarry will not go ahead.

Mat Brown, from the diving club, is looking at alternative arrangements.

A reminder to members that 2014 night permits expired at the start of this year, meaning those who wish to night fish must renew first.

Bookings will not be taken on last year's numbers.

Our headquarters at 52 Parker Street are open on Friday between 7pm and 8.30pm for subscriptions, new memberships, night permits and queries.
