Nice fish bud :-) well done Oh and Craig i'll let you know when I'm out next so you can text me

great fish bud

piketastic asked me to put up this photo of his best chew fish, well done bud

The river pike season has started for me now. Second swim resulted in this hard fighting pike of 11lb 1oz, which got me snagged up at one point (I put the rod in the rest and waited 5 mins for it to unsnag itself, which it did!).



Four or five swims later, the drop off indicator released and line started pouring out the spool. I struck immediately and landed this longer but leaner pike of 12lb 1oz.



Both fish swam away strongly after a quick snap. I also ended up with one leg in the river at one point after the bank collapsed, sod.

Happy days

Well done Craig on your Chew pike Next year it could be your time for a 40

And well done Jimlad two lovely river pike mate

Thank you Adie, I got a trip back in a fortnight , so fingers crossed. . . . Jimlad those pike are really nicely coloured, they look lovely fighting fish, well done!

Bit of a frost this morning at last round a few parts. . So let's see if some of those extra big girls start to show themselves.

Cheers both. They were in tip top condition, great fight as well. The local river throws up some lovely looking fish

Well done on the chew fish mate. It's a definite challenge just to bank something on there

Aye Jim lad, two nice river Pike there. The banked collapsed on me on the Soar in August, 15stone of blubber and a leg up to the knee in it, not a pretty sight!

been out this weekend , visited 2 venues had 4 fish on the Saturday and 1 fish on the sunday but only did a few hours on sunday
but had it on a drifter set up , just love that method when the winds just right

looks like more people are getting out fishing judging by the pike photos some good looking pike coming out

well done to everyone making the effort

the big girls are keeping a low profile at the moment cant seem to catch one ,but not to bothered just happy to be out and nailing a few fish

I had my first times out with baits this weekend Saturday was a good day landing 10 pike with a few coming adrift 2 on lives and 8 on deads, were all mostly in the 9-10lb bracket with the best going around 12-13 but they were all still on the slim side, back out Sunday afternoon afloat and managed 2 pike best going 15lb but still long and thin with a big head so they need abit more munch

Was off river still lean but it had some good length to it, I'm sure Avon's didn't say 25 I weigh very little most get unhooked by boat but weighted this out of curiosity cos of the length, it didn't half pull good tho, found them really athletic this year still one on Saturday come clean out by boat and body dropped my other rod still in rest, lucky plastic rod holder didn't go along with my rod downstream

It's a funny game pike fishing - we were fishing a lake in Yorkshire today. We set up in a double swim fishing no more then 30 yards apart. My mate Jeff had 10 fish before I had a bite. He finished up with 12 to my 4 - we did have two fish 13 & 13.5 lb.

We are not doing to bad at the monent catching a few fish with a few boubles as well. I was going to go down to Oxford

this weekend but had cancelled I forgot it was Rememdrance Sunday and promise to take my brother to a service.

i was on loch ken yesterday. i had 6 pike up to 17lb 8oz and lost a big 20lb as well.

I used to fish it lot but not be back for a few years. I was thinking do the crayfish go off the feed in the winter. I will have think about registering my boat and look for places to launch.
