Piking

[Stig]

Live baits eh didnt know you could still use em when piking i usually fish 1 on the live bait and another on the dead or lure .As long as the place your fishing allows live baiting.

What does a Pearch look like Garreth ??.........lol

hi there

ive tried live and dead baits.. and tbh the deads seem to whittle out the better fish seems that the jacks love small roach etc etc and small deads like sprats..

anyone tried lamprey ????

i've seen frozen lamprey sections in daves of middlewich i think you have to get in there early though, i know a few pikers who stock up early for the winter so it never lasts long

Cheers Mark but thats the story of my life not being there when they have em in stock also not being a serious piker i just go when i fancy it if i manage to bag on some Lamprey all the better but if i dont its not the end of the world
