Woodshaw 14 June

Some decent weights were recorded again this week by our junior members at the popular Aspull water. The quality of fish at Woodshaw Reservoir seems to be improving year on year, and quality roach and skimmers are regularly featuring in catches.


Josh Hughes took top honours in the junior section, catching 3 tench and 2 crucian carp on sweetcorn fished in the margins for an impressive 13lb 2oz. Closest rival was Liam Gaskell who fished maggot to amass 5-10 of roach and hybrids, plus a bonus crucian.


Liam's elder brother Sean won the Intermediate catagory with 11lbs of mostly quality roach taken on maggot. Sean also included a 2lb hybrid in his catch.

Minnows 7th June

Despite a downpour just before the match started, the Minnows spirits were not dampened.
Most of the anglers managed to catch some fish.

Pegged on 571, Lloyd Berry concentrated on catching perch close to the edge on pinkies. Some of his fish put up a great fight for their size.
















Sat on the end-peg, Callum Brown had chose to fish breadpunch to lure the roach from under the far bank trees. As I passed by, Callum confidently announced that he was going to put on a big piece of bread and catch something bigger, and sure enough, within 2 minutes the float slid under and he was soon putting his landing net into action.

















Opposite the school field, Daniel Burton from Runcorn also fished breadpunch on the long pole. Daniel put together a match-winning net 1lb 12ozs 10drs of silver fish (roach and skimmers).

















Match Result:

1st - Daniel Burton 1-12-10
2nd - Jack Whiteman 1-2-0
3rd - Courtney Wright 0-15-11
4th - Lloyd Berry 0-15-3
5th - Callum Brown 0-9-5

Woodshaw 7th June - 1st match results

Tench and crucian carp were in the mood to feed at the Aspull venue for this first match. Last year's junior winner Liam Gaskell made a good start to his 2010 campaign with 3 crucians plus plenty of 'bits' all taken on maggot from peg 26. Jamie Mears put an impressive 12lb 11oz on the scales to record the first win in the new 'Intermediates' (over 15s) catagory.
