As agreed at the 2006 members meeting, as talk by Mick Brown on pike fishing and safe pike angling took place on October 1st 2006.

Mick also discussed safe pike fishing and pike conservation and also took time to share rigs and techniques. About 25 members took the time to attend for what was an entertaining and informative talk.

November 2003 Pike In

On November 16th 2003 14 Anglers took part in the Annual Pike Match to raise money for Second Chance Children’s Angling Charity.  All in all 32 Pike were caught on the day and for the time of year quite sunny and warm (eventually).  Top rod for the day was Harold Taverner catching 8 pike but the biggest fish for the day fell to Gareth Lewis with an 18lber from the Orchid Pit on a brand new lure.  So well done to you both and Gareth took the whip prize on the day for biggest fish.  A donation of £110 will be made to the Charity after prize money being deducted.

Here are a few of the happy bunch.

Well done to those that took part and hopefully we will get a few more next year.

18th 2001 November Charity Pike In

On the 18th November 23 Pike anglers took part in a charity event at Bainton fisheries to raise money for the 2nd Chance Children’s Angling Charity.  The weather in the week prior had been rather cool and the water temperature was low.  On the day the air temperature had raised to about 10 degrees C but the water was still cool.  Top weight for the day’s event was 12lb 6oz to Alan Smith, closely followed by fish of 12lb to Chris Bishop (runner up again).  The good new was that 240 pounds was raised for charity and that a good social day out was had by all.  About a dozen pike were caught during the day.  A big thank you to all that took part and there is a plan to have an April event in 2002.  And now a few snaps….

Phil with a 10 pounder – part of top bag weight of 33lb for the day.

Alan Smith with top weight of 12.6, worth 50 quid as well in the pool.

Jon and Chris after a hard days gossiping and putting the world (and lure anglers) to rights.

And finally the dregs that stood around for the final photo, Alan also won a Pike print donated by the lads from Improve your Course Fishing. Does Sid the dog get in all the snaps?
