PIKE AND COARSE
Fonz Howard has been on top form recently landing a cracking
23lb 4oz fish to static deadbait from the bank in the North basin (see attached

the following trip. Meanwhile Big S club
member Dave Roscow fished 2 days from the boats and landed a 10, a 12 a 17 and
a 21 pounder, all on static deadbaits.
Ashley Hockham and Ian Bland from Ulverston fished just
lures and landed 6 Pike upto double figures from the boats. Meanwhile Geoff
Birtwistle took a good conditioned 16 pounder on static deadbait from the
boats. Also employing static deadbaits Nigel Parker from Harrogate landed a 9,
a 12 and a 19lb predator from the car park banking.
Big S club member Steve Hincks from Blackpool took a 12
pounder on deadbait and a specimen Brown Trout of 9lb 8oz on a Pike lure, which
was safely returned! Graham Atkinson from Milnthorpe fished static dead’s from
the bank and took a brace of doubles including a 12 and a 15 pounder. Steve
Hill fished from the boats and landed 4 Pike to 16lb on herring deadbaits and
James Howe from Preston took his PB Pike of 20lb exactly from the car park
banking on Mackerel deadbait! Don’t forget we are still open for Pike fishing
until 31st March.
The general coarse fishing has been good with mild overcast
days providing ideal conditions and bags of 20-30lb have been commonplace.
Indeed Joe Pennington from Bury fished feeder tactics off the boathouse swim
and reported non stop action with mixed bags of Roach, Perch and hybrids.
Tickets cost just £10 and we are open for Coarse fishing until 14th
March!
