Destined for great things.
pike
Traditionally speaking, Pike are perhaps not best suited to LRF and UL tactics. However, there’s no denying that catching a small ‘Jack Pike’ is a whole lot more enjoyable on a light lure set-up. A wire trace must be used if targeting Pike, due to their incredibly sharp teeth. With a little luck, a chance encounter with a larger specimen can provide sport that is hard to beat. In my area, Pike find it hard to resist a white or bright paddletail fished slowly with a straight retrieve.

With the bass and zander ticked off already, Masa and I had the whole of Saturday afternoon free. We had the choice of pretty much anywhere to fish south of The Midlands, on our way back home. Masa had the first idea. To fish Oxford. More

K&A Grand Slam
Completed the K&A Grand Slam today. Perch, Pike and Ruffe. Biggest Perch went 37cm.

Perching with George Cunningham
Without doubt, George Cunningham has had a huge influence on the state of light lure fishing here in the UK. George’s homegrown HTO brand has made it possible for thousands of people to try out LRF and ultralight fishing, without breaking the bank, discovering the addictive fun of these methods. By all accounts, the HTO Rockfish UL remains one of the best selling spinning rods of all time. So, when my threat of taking George Perch fishing on the Kennet & Avon finally looked like a goer last week, we were both really looking forward to it. More
Most Popular UK Predator?
I was bored at work yesterday afternoon and decided to see if I could answer the question, “which is the most popular UK predator?” There’s no denying that interest in predator fishing, especially lure fishing is exploding in the UK right now, but which predators really interest anglers the most?

Back on the K&A
With the competition scene pretty much over for the year, it was really nice to get back on my local stretch of the Kennet and Avon canal to mess around with some new lures, relax and have some fun. More
