just read the report of this years pike final,only 230 fished! is this a sign of the economic climate(recession)or has the novelty worn off?.i think theres got to be more pike anglers about now than ever,so why the drop in the pike champs entries?

think it might be a bit of both to be honest and the fact that for several years now and against all odds(as anyone who has fished will there will confirm)a certain person who we wont name (hey leon whatever your name is)keeps ending up in the top3-last year the organiser wouldnt even read out his name as the winner and handed over to someone else-at the presentation after last years final the leisure centre emptied like a burning building when word got round he had won!!!!!

coupled with the fact that the fens are being raped like many other waters by people that have decided to eat our fish stocks-whilst down there for a few days this champs one farmer told me he chases at least 3 off a day!!!
