Anybody Catching

Nice one Gary, I've had 2 little uns in the last 3 trips, struggling big time,

thanks for the comments lads, leondodd just keep at it bud, and make sure your on waters that produce fish over 14lb. as for time of year i only fish for pike oct/march. where you frombud? may be able to help you out if your close

Cheers MAD BAD, the waters I've been fishing, 1 is a Stillwater when I sat at the side of my uncle who proceeded to land a 15lber, one river and a couple of canals, I think nearly every river and canal can produce fish of this size. To be honest sometimes size is irrelevant, it be nice to catch my target but after a few blanks, anything would do, like I say 3 pike in approximately15 sessions and 2 of them came in 1 session.
I thought the general opinion would be not to fish for them once the water starts to warm up, I think once they start spawning they are not really interested in eating anyway.
I'm from Ossett, near Wakefield, but have been known to travel a bit for my fishing.

nice fat fish pal well in

I am finding it hard going at the moment. I was doing very well up to new year but only had 7 pike so far this year and I

blanked again today.

fishing a trout water on the last weekend permitted in Staffordshire

anyone any tips at fishing these types of waters

have fished it before but blanked

tried all the usuals lures ,deads, and all manner of spinners and jerks, spoons ... it had me beat I can tell you

It's been a tough couple of weeks with the snow water in the rivers but things are picking up along with the temperatures. Three fish this week, 11lbs, 12lbs and 25lbs 13oz, all on lures.

Well done Eric

I've been out twice this week first time for just 2 hours and manage one jack of 8lb then a full days blanking

Still it was good to be out there watching nature at its best

Here's a pic. of the 25, it turns out it was the same fish I had last March at 20lb 15oz so it's put on almost 5lbs in less than a year. Hmm, I had a thirty on the same day last year, I wonder how big that one is now!

thats a lovely big girl , well done , I was hoping to get on the river today but got stuck in work longer than planned

cracking fish eric

Managed to end a run of 3 blanks with a 8 lb fish today...Jesus the weather certainly got a grip of me today we had near gale winds and 2 inch of snow from midday until 3pm not often I say this but glad to get back home

After a couple of blanks myself, ( one with jake ) , I decided to try a night session , I was meeting my lad at the venue after work last night. He got there for 5 and at 6.15 when I arrived , he had just landed his first ever 20. 20lb 6 oz. . Over the next hour or so we missed a run each, it then went quiet until 11 pm . We then landed 3 , a 13. An 11 and a 6 . Nowt else while this morning and we had 2 jacks to finish.
It's been a long time since I had a few at night, feels good not to be blanking, even if my lad out fished me
Cheers Craig.

Just out of curiosity, are you fishing deads or lives at night? Piking at night is not something I have ever done, although I wouldn't mind giving it a go. I have done plenty of night fishing for other species but never pike

They were deads mate ..... By the way almost forgot , that's a great pike Eric, well done.

well done guys, got out myself today. windy, raining and very cold stuck it out till the death and managed this at 15lb 12oz

Well done lads some nice pike there

Some great Pike coming out lately. That is an absolute stunner Eric, fair play. Ive been doing OK too but the last day was just unreal. When Ireland fishes good its bloody good

I took my Son and his friend out for the day,  windy wet and horrible.  But we didnt have time to moan.     The friend jack had never pike fished before so he would have been happy with a Jack too lol.  He managed a 17lb 13oz,  two 14s a 10 and 6 jacks.  My Son had a 23lb 5oz  a 17lb 9oz and 6 jacks and I had a little bit of sport with a 23lb 10oz and 4 jacks,  Why is is so easy at times          

Awesome well done lads

That's a cracking session with some cracking fish, well done

Cheers lads, One of my best days in 15 years of trying lol. Its great when it all comes together. Now trying to repeat it is another thing

Brilliant days piking mate Well done
