Chris Tarrant fished the St Lawrence Tilly,he was after carp,I fished there a couple of times for bass for a BBQ,it’s just over an hour away from where we have the house. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Going back to your piking campaign, a thought came to me depending on were you stand ethically but a lot of the top boys in the pike world use goldfish livebaits obviously it’s not announced and kept on the hush but if you have a small pond at home chuck in a couple and let nature take its course they are ridiculously successful but don’t tell anyone lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
