Big Pike at Gailey Trout Fishery.

First A 17lb, Then 18lb, Then another 18lb....Then a fantastic 28lb Pike on two visits to Gailey Trout Fishery this month.

Mr Arnold from Edgbaston Birmingham has certainly hit the jackpot with his Pike fishing at Gailey Trout Fishery, on two visits he landed and returned no less than 6 superb condition Pike all caught on live trout, the best being the impressive Pike 28lb (See picture on the website) So impressed with the fishing he immediately purchased a full season ticket .

Had this e-mailed to me yesterday, seems to be 'doing the rounds'.

Looks like a blatant advert to me

I thought most pike fishermen would be interested, when a 30 plus comes out I'll keep it quite.

well there is a 'NO VENUE NAMING policy'.. and something like youre first post would seem a bit odd especialy with the odd rouge popping on and attemptng to find venues of other members.............

Only the second time on the site, thought you might be interested. And didn't know the forum rules. The post was a copy of something I sent to the local papers.
I'll keep quite in futue... Sorry about that.

Some very nice pike there mate

And not a million miles away
Worth thinking about a day or twos piking

no worrys just be careful you dont want the place being overfished

I think he is offering us the chance to buy a day or season ticket to fish the water, to be honest, Alex..

Also, it is likely to be the Owner of the water.

Ahh well then my apolgise are in order..................

Off the website:

From October 1st to the end of February 2010 Gailey opens the gates to our Pike fishing friends. All the money generated from Pike fishing tickets helps us to replace stocks lost to the predators.
Not a bad idea. However, nature finds it's own balance.

Day Tickets £10.00.
Bit pricey for me, I don't work. However, If you're gonna catch a biggy..............

Boats available from £5.00 (Pre booking advised)
Good price.

Live Trout Bait 60p Each.
Ditto

Only live bait purchased from Gailey may be used (No live bait to be brought on to the water).
Totally agree.

Only large barb-less lures may be used (8 inches)
I won't be lure fishing then.

No Sail floats may be used,
Why?

All trout, and any pike over 12lb must be returned to the water alive.
So does that mean you have to despatch of pike under 12lbs? Definitely DON'T like the sound of that one

Trout caught must be returned with care, damaged Trout to be purchased at £2.50 each
So you have to buy EVERY trout you catch then? Technically they will all be damaged cos they've had a hook lodged in their gob!

Pike Anglers are required to fish alternate platforms
What's the logic behind that one then?

Guys

The policy on naming venues is to protect the fishing of all pike anglers who do not want their fishing ruined by a loose tongue and a hoard of bounty hunters.

Gailey are clearly advertising their water to the pike fraternity, which they are welcome to do on here.

I have added a page to the website on Gailey Trout Fishery www.pikeangler.co.uk/waters/gailey

It doesn't mean you have to kill any pike under 12lb lads or any pike come to that

Cheap "trout water" Pike fishing there.

It also seems that the rules are not too restrictive and supplying live-baits as well. Only time will tell if its managed properly. Lets hope so because there are people and organisations trying to attack piker's and Pike angling and impose silly rules just for the sake of it.
