West Yorkshire

New to the forum so i would like to say hello to everyone Only started pike fishing again after a 20 year, yes 20 years layoff. Im fairly new to the area, and wondered if anyone could suggest any pike venues around west yorkshire or surrounding area.

Many thanks

Finbar

Just read the thread on the not to name a venue policy. Whats the point of a forum ?

hi and welcome to forum finbar

plenty of forums name pike waters ??

this forum to meet like minded people who love pike fishing and there are a good set of lads and lasses on here.

tight lines

hi finbar and welcome to forum

As for the not naming venues Well most of us have seen good pike waters die because someone named them and they then get fished to death

And this is what we try to avoid now !!
As Kell said theres plenty of forums that with tell you where the pike spots are ( too many of them in fact )
I personally have seen quite a few good pike spots where i could go and catch loads of good pike get wiped out in a very short time

So now i only tell people about good spots that i know i can trust not to go telling others

So bear with us and as we get to know and trust you you may get some PMs from one or two folk off this great forum

Welcome Finbar.............................I'm sure if you think about it, it will all make perfect sense......
Relax and enjoy the good company (which you certainly will find on this forum)
I've only been a member for two weeks and already received plenty of good advice and location tips via pm.....

Thanks for the welcome and i understand what you mean. There are plenty of thoughtless boneheads about.

Agreed, stick around and you will find that there are plenty good blokes around here..........
"Bonehead", I haven't heard that term since I left South Africa.........ha-ha-ha-ha

Cheers duane, glad it made you laugh

Well put, Adie

I joined the forum principally to learn about Pike Fishing & getting venue information has always been secondary..
