Last time out we focused on pike, on this outing we were reservoir perch fishing! The heavy rods stayed in the car, while Thom Hunt and I went on a search for big perch. We both felt that big shads were probably going to get hit by the pike too much, so creature baits were […]

At the end of my previous video, big river pike hunt with lures, I asked viewers to recommend the lures they use to help me catch the big pike I’m after. I wasn’t disappointed and had loads of suggestions for lures in all shapes and sizes – and some unusual ones too. That’s the power […]

I’d heard a few rumours of some big pike being caught from a new section of river, so I decided on a big river pike hunt with lures and deadbaits. I love this pioneering approach, not knowing what I’m going to catch. You’ve probably heard the phrase Location, Location, Location – well that’s the key […]

It was late 2011 and for various reasons I was not visiting Poole quite so much. I missed by boat and decided to bring it closer to home and put it on the river. Whilst I had caught a lot of pike I’d never caught a big pike, nothing over about 8lb so I had […]

There is very little that’s more exciting in fishing than seeing a float slip away, knowing that an absolute beast of a Pike might be on the end! Float fishing for Pike is something that I look forward to each Winter. This article covers a magic little session I had on a large Lea Valley […]

This article covers a day session Pike fishing with deadbaits in the Lea Valley. Generally, I am a lure angler but after a long winter of lure fishing for Perch it was quite nice to relax and fish with deadbaits. It didn’t end up very relaxing at all and was quite an action packed session. […]

For me, lure fishing and winter go hand-in-hand. By December 2018 I’d been fishing quite hard for a few months for big Perch fishing around the Lea Valley. My target for three years had been to catch a 4lb+ Perch on a lure. In early December, I finally achieved this, and so I almost immediately […]
