If that's where I think it is, I was the first person ever to catch a pike from there, must be getting on for twenty years ago now. It's had some lean years pike-wise, nice to see they're making a comeback.

yes eric it did go really quite on there about 5 years ago but had them to 18lb recently or should i say the wife has ....long storey

Not enough in there for them to eat. If all you put in your water is big carp then only the carp anglers will be happy and to hell with the rest.

very true eric but have noticed of late they are fattening up a bit.....they used to be very lean and scabby at times.... it does get hammerd by the cormerants

have you fished it lately and have you heard about any good fish coming out

I,ve fished it 3 times with my son before Christmas and blanked.baitboats,the lot! Can be productive though but seems to be my bogey water which is a shame as its so close to me.last time on there,a dog owner walked all the way from car park,then decided to throw a stick in my peg for his dog! I asked him if he could swim and he turned back😉

New venue saturday resulted in only 2 runs...

18lb 8oz



and a 17lb 4oz

nice chunky fish well in

Had a 23 pounder today out of a local lake. Was alone so could only get a pic in the net as no one walked past .also had 2 other fish at around five pound. Cracking day. Bloody cold tho when the snow came at midday ish.

Not even a run today, but it wasn't ideal conditions (bright, flat calm and bloody freezing) also never had a great deal of the water to fish due to most of it being frozen. Congrats to everyone who caught.

well done guys

went out saturday morning at 1st light had rain ,sleet and snow for a while. canal was well up due to recent rain but had a jack just before packing up so did'nt blank.

I take a couple of spare banksticks with butt rests on to put my phone in to take pics when I'm out myself.

You can pick cannon g6 cameras up dirt cheap now to do self takes if you don't wana buy a fancy camera, their spot on for self takes with flip screen and remote yet cheap enough not to have to worry about having 100's of pounds worth of camera gear on you in bad weather

Blanked on the river today.just too much colour in it really,couple of days of no rain and it will be perfect😉 off to Ireland tomorrow for a few days,lets hope the big girls are playing ball there!😊

Caught 8 pike yesterday, biggest was this 15lb 5oz, caught the same fish two and a half weeks ago

That's a proper looking pike . Gorgeous markings . Well done !

That 15lb 8 is a great marked fish, well done mate

Managed 9 the other day, 6 jacks, a 14,  15 and this the best at 17lb 4oz.  I had had 2 blanks previously so needed a good day
