today was rather quiet, but i managed to get a 6lb jack out that i caught yesterday 200 yards downstream.

not a bad finish to my season, the best i have had in a long time.

We are going to go night fishing Tuesday. Not long now before the end of the season looking at three more tips.

Lots of Pike spawning in Ireland. I would rather watch them than catch them for the next couple of weeks., Looking forward to the lure fishing frenzy after they have finished though!!!!! Bring on April

probably better to let them spawn in piece ...... it will be better all round for the fish as well as the angler

took the dog for a walk round our local park today which has a small lake on it,,,so I took a spinning rod and a few lures,,,3rd or 4th cast I got this lovely looking nipper around a pound maybe a pound and half,,,,now what makes this catch so special is around 5 years ago wshen we had a hot summer,,,all the big carp bream and pike all died fish of all sizes was belly up and nobady has caught a thing since then,,,,but my wife and kids was there a week or two back and they saw a few big ish carp so me being me took the rod today,,,,best thing was this little jack I caught today had a baby pike in its mouth when I got it on the bank so the place must be doing ok after all




what a nice way end the season lads

Always good to see a water recovering..... unfortunately my local waters never get a decent chance of flourishing due to ee's/noddys.

Know how you feel Mad Bad, ive also had my best season, 26 pike from 12 trips inc. 3 @ 17lb, and a river PB of 21lb and only 2 blanks as well.
i know there are some lads on here that have done much much better, but for me its been a great season.
Dont want to wish the summer away, but i cant wait till next autumn.

Its our 1st trip of the year to Scotland (we have two) we've planned it so that hopefully they have spawned by then and on the munch��

Night fishing went well, five fish, nothing big but welcome with blanking last two trips. Two more weeks to go.

Been to two big waters this week, had fish to 18.15 from one and to 17.08 from the other. water temps were four degrees and five degrees respectively and the fish are nowhere near spawning.

reading pike and preditor s today..... that's agood fish that pug nosed monster
I used to fish bassenthwaite about the same time eric that's where I had my first double to funnily enough used to fish the point where the trees were..... when it was good

Not posted on here for a long time chaps so though i would share a few pics of this season. Hope you are all well.

So my main aim of this season was to get the Uncle & my father both in the 20lber club. All was looking that i would not succeed until the last few weeks of the month when i located a great hotspot. Over the course of the 3 weeks i banked around 9,  15lbers quite a few lower doubles and many many jacks. The good news came when my uncle banked his first ever 20lber weighing in at 20lb 14oz (Picture with Landrover) and then again i succeeded with my father also banking a cracking 21lb 12oz on the last day of the season. Both was that scared that i had to do the honours of the unhooking process. A great season had by all of us and looking forward to being out again in the depths of winter next season.

Oh because i dint get a 20 this season i thought i would pop in my PB of 28lb 12oz at the bottom of the thread.

Yes, minewater overflow from the Force Crag mine has destroyed Bassenthwaite, you'd be lucky to ctch a double there now. The mine is depositing three tonnes of zinc into the lake every year, there'll be nothing left soon

is nobody doing anything about it.....thought the lake was of scientific importance rare fish and the likes.....

Some nice fish there. Just two more trips then will have a count up to see how I have done.

I have put some things up for sale if you all like to have a look.

There is the Bassenthwaite restoration program.
