I caught it last off fishing the margins of a small river and knew it were a decent fish [bANNED TEXT] it started to run then again river pike always seem to put up a better scrap than those i have caught in ponds and canals.atb dell Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Another one just over the 17lb barrier one of two fish i caught the same day just before the end of the river season in march the year afore last both fish had spawned out and were still in good condition but they may have touched the 20 barrier if i had caught them a month earlier.

Go for it mate you wont regret it i enjoy catching small jacks as well as a few of the bigger ones i have caught and despite wat some might say their not the hardest of fish to catch the hardest part is finding were they are as certain times of the year they wont be far from the shoals of food fish.atb dell Quote Link to post
