Dave West


Best brace out of 9 20s caught by by Dave West in 36hrs from Shannon System. Weighig in at 26.12 & 27lbs. What a few days fishing you had from the sounds of it.
Apologies Dave for not getting your pics on the Gallery sooner, but I've been trapped in hospital for the past few weeks. (Photos from Brian Leggett)

Ant Glascoe

My God I feel Faint! Ant Glascoe has only gone and caught a pike on a 'Bluey dead-bait' and not a lure in sight!
Personally I think this near twenty is much better looking than Ant, but nowhere near as nice as the nurses I've had looking after me recently.
What really puzzled me though, is that he entitled his photo sent to me as "underpants"! Is this some fetish of yours Ant that we should be aware of?
Keep em' coming folks now that I'm back in action.

Diane Marsden

Diane Marsden only started serious pike fishing two years back after being introduced to the sport by her brother Trevor Jickells, who is also a PAC member. (And who appeared on this gallery a week ago).
After a hard season, Diane caught this fine double of 15lbs 08ozs yesterday from a Lincolnshire drain. A great way to end the season.

Paul O'Neil

This is one of those pike caught in a situation where a bait boat was required to reach the feeding area for large pike. 100+ yards out, and in only 3ft of water.
Caught by member Paul O'Neil on Sunday 7th March from a Central Lowland water, she took a legered Pollan and weighed in at 31 lb; and is a new PB for Paul.

Trevor Jickells

21.02 of a gorgeous looking Lincolnshire drain pike for member Trevor Jickells.
Caught on 9th March along with another pike of 17.08. A great day by anyone's standards.
As can be clearly seen, this fish came from a built up area that might often be overlooked by those in search of pike. A good lesson there!

John Burton

Just like a local bus service, nothing for ages then two come along in short order! After struggling to get a river twenty this year, John managed his second just days after getting his first. This one weighed in at 20.04 and came from the River Adur in Sussex.

Dan Clarke

Them Savagear 4-play herrings certainlu appear to catch their fair share of the decent pike.
Dan Clarke put his pike pattern 4-play to good effect with this great 17lb pike. A great photo mate.

Lionel Mills

John Burton sent me in this cracking piccy of Lionel Mills with a River Adur 25 pounder that took a sandeel.

John Burton

After a season searching the River Adur in Sussex for quality pike, John Burton finally cracked it - just as the season is coming to an end. At 21.04 she's a real beauty.
Well done buddy for your perseverance.

Stuart Lucy

With the end of the traditional season almost upon us, Stuart Lucy has been out recently enjoying some hectic sport from his local waters. This 19lb 4oz pike caught on Saturday 27/02/10 in a session which included 3 other pike weighing in at 13lb, 11lb & 8lb. The 19 was taken on a float fished half herring & the others on popped up ledgered smelt.

Ant Glascoe

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I realise that I am not the only one that likes to take the pee out of Ant. This corker shows that Mick Brown has a humourous side to him as well!
Your fault Ant for sending me the piccy!

Reg Boyall

Reg has been hitting the same river area that his given him a lot of success this season. The result being the capture of more pike up to 17lbs in weight.
But rather than show just another piccy of a pike - I decided to add this shot he sent me of a rather chubby Robin that he'd been sharing his lunch with.
Looks almost too tubby to take off!

Ant Glascoe

Ant reckons this little Chub attacked the 20lb+ Pike he was fishing for with the 4 Play Herring seen in the photo. Personally I think he was seeing things, and the expression "Should Have Gone To Specsavers Mate" comes to mind.
I just love taking the pee out of Ant........ but seriously this chub competed with a brute of a pike and won 1st prize in getting it's photo taken with Ant.
Good sources from within the freshwater world inform me that the jealous Pike is looking to take the chub out for lunch! Watch out for the latest on this story from our intrepid reporter and Press Officer; Chris Bishop!

Ant Glascoe & Christian



Kind hearted Uncle Ant took his nephew Christian out with him recently, and the pair were rewarded with this lovely double which fell to a wobbled deadbait. Then a new venue on a family pike fishing break, produced 20 odd pike whilst working on some new savagear bits, but the fishing was hard as the river was a little flooded and chocolate, but ploughing through floating debris they had some nice fish including this jalopy, which was taken under the rod tip.

Reg Boyall

Just a couple of days after sending me his first piccy for the Gallery, Reg has been out again catching pike from the same area. The latest session saw him land 8 pike including this beauty of 15.08.
At a spritely age of 71, Reg is currently enjoying a good run of pike after a fairly lean spell; and more importantly is enjoying his fishing as much as ever.

Reg Boyall

Here's the first photo from Reg Boyall to add to this Gallery, and what a 'cracker'!
At 21.02 she was the best of 5 caught yesterday (15th Feb) on smelt and lamprey from a Lincolnshire drain by Reg. Well done mate - I'm seriously jealous.


Elliot Robinson

Team Robinson have certainly had a fantastic season so far on the River Tees, with Elliot setting a new PB on Monday with this lovely fish of 17lb. The pike fell to a mackerel deadbait.
He's doing really well for a 14 year old and he is delighted with his latest catch.(He even gave it a kiss - shame it was the day after Valentines Day!!).
Elliot won the Durham & Teesside Region - Junior Pike Angler of the Year for 2009, and he is continuing into 2010 in fine style.
Sadly to say that his dad blanked. Never mind mate, there's always the next time - when Elliot beats you again!

Ant Glascoe

He's at it again....an early morning session saw Ant catch this beauty just as it turned light, followed just a couple of minutes later by a Twenty for his mate.
I don't know what he steps in, but he should market it!

Richard Ralph

Richard Ralph had a great day out just before Christmas with a couple of mid-doubles of between 16-18lb falling to lures on a remote section of an East Yorkshire canal.
Great looking fish!

Eric Robinson

A fantastic 2009/10 season has just been topped for Eric by the capture of a New PB and his first ever twenty. At 21lb, this beauty was captured from the River Tees on a mackeral deadbait.
I personally feel that it's down to Eric's lucky PAC woolly hat rather than the new Eddie Turner rod he got for his birthday. Either way a great prezzie!
