had a pleasant day on the anker yesterday whipping out plenty of tiddlers maiinly perch ,roach, gudeon, chubletts ,bleak and even a single skimmer. river was in very good nick as you can see from picture.

fishing went quiet all of a sudden and after dropping an empty mussle shell that i hooked in the margin i found out why, a bloody great pike attacked it right under my feet, scared the life out of me!
after hooking the pike and being biten off four times as it attacked the roach/gudgeon i was catching i hooked it a 5th time and hooked the bugger in corner of his mouth and managed to land him and return him safely 3 pegs up stream. 20 minutes later the bugger was back sat at the end of my keep net.i gave up! anyway had a great day was nice to be back on the river and never saw another sole all day.
below the pike in the net. think i might have started a new craze , pike on the pole lol


my peg for the day about half way along the stretch.

my bag of tiddlers.

looking down stream of my peg

plenty of sport with loads of bite all day and a bit of exciement with mr pike enjoyed it. last time i fished there i had a 13lb 4oz barbel but thats another story. ill be back.

Not sure how clear it is from the picture but I went last year (September-ish) and I had 2 pike sat at the end of my keepnet all day long. They never moved until I put my fish back when they tried to pick of any that they could. Never seen it before. I even had a guy that was fishing for pike and he came along and dropshotted and lure fished right in front of them and they wouldn't move. Crazy.
