PIKE FISHING
Once again
the Pike fishing has been on top form with plenty of sport reported from both
boat and bank. First up is Big S club member John Ashurst from Wigan who landed
5 Pike last weekend, all falling to static deadbait and the haul from the boats
included 2 x 17 pounders! Also day ticket angler Mark Willan from Keswick fished
a morning session from the boats and landed a brace of Pike up to mid doubles,
one on a lure and one on a trolled deadbait set up. Also fishing from the boats
John Platt from Co Durham landed a brace of twenties, weighing in at 20lb 6oz
and 21lb respectively. Both fish fell to static deads’.
The bank
fishing for Pike has been good, in fact the car park swim has been on fire! Big
S club member Joe O’Rouke from Liverpool has taken fish of 18lb, 19lb 8oz and a
cracker at 20lb 2oz (see attached photo ). Again deadbaits did the trick! Big S
club member Darren Lord got in on the action from the same swim with a 16
pounder. Stuart Seed from Preston landed a 17lb 8oz fish. Chris Carney from
Carlisle managed a 19 pounder and Kevin O’Rouke landed a cracking brace at 15lb
4oz and 19lb 7oz.
