| 8th November update |
| It seems that a great deal of pike were caught on the opening weekend's event at Blithfield reservoir with the best fish wieghing in at 36lb-12oz boated on Sunday afternoon. The Saturday session also produced a 31lb-4oz pike to Dave Kelbrick. There were also a number of fish caught between 20 and 30lb on both days. More details when I have them. |

| 28th October update |
| A bit late in the day I know but there is a charity pike match at Combermere nr Whitchurch, Shropshire, which will take place this Sunday the 31st October. Draw takes place at 7.30am on the car park of the Combermere arms. £15 peg fee. This is a syndicate water so Let me know if you want me to book a place. |
| The Message Board |
| Sorry but due to the lack of interest and posts
the message board has closed. The message board was hosted on a domain that uses windows servers to take ASP message board software. These are costly to maintain however if there is a demand for one in the future I'll set a 3rd party message board on a free server. |
12th October update |

The October meeting saw John Davey stood in for Mark Phillips who could not make the event due to work commitments. John ably showed us the methods of trace making using stainless steel strand and titanium wire. A few fair few of the made up traces went missing during the night though, which have no doubt found their way into some others tackle boxes! |

Mammoth
Pike - Neville Fickling. I've just read this latest book from Neville
which records the captures of pike over the 35lb mark. Fred Buller who
wrote the original declined to write an update of the original so Neville
has basically added to the original with the many large pike caught
since the original 'Domesday Book of Mammoth Pike' was published. The allowing of pike fishing on trout reservoirs from the late 80s has resulted in some spectacular catches from them. Blithfield and Llandegfedd figure prominently in the book which will be of great interest to members. £28 for a hardback copy, well worth it! |

3rd October update |

The trout water season
is upon us and Mark Bryant has a boat spare on 27th October going
if anyone wants it. Call Mark on 01273 683676. Mark is also arranging
a trip to Ebro in November fishing for zander and has a few places left.
The zander in the Ebro get to well over 20lbs and multiple catches of
double figure fish are possible. Again, give him a call if you are interested. |

Mark Phillips was to be our speaker this month but unfortunately
he has to go to Paris and can't make it (ah the life of the idle rich).
Mark will be coming up on January 4th instead. |

21st September update |
|---|
Chris Hammond and myself fished a couple
of south fenland rivers at the weekend. Being still very
early in the season the rivers were very weedy and warm. Although a
few small pike and perch were taken on livebaits, the larger fish never
showed. A case of wrong time right place! |
