Last Chance


Myself and Darren hit the river for the last hour of daylight and the first couple of hours of dark, and it wasn't looking good. Just one missed bite to me and we'd just conceded defeat when Darren's rod knocked round. It only takes a second to make a winter trip! A 3lb 10oz barbel on a winter evening, great stuff!

    1. You're right in one way, as we enter the last six weeks of the season we're very aware we haven't put any significant pike on the board. We are all watching the river levels and weather reports...

      Hopefully we'll catch a break, if not we will have to head for a lake.

      Between the three of us it's been 81 barbel - 5 pike!
