New Pike fisherman

All,

I have bought some Pike tackle.

Hope to be a new fisherman here in the UK.

Was a predator fisherman in Africa.

Now live in Brentwood.

Would like to know where the nearest Pike fishing grounds are to where I
live.

Would appreciate any advice in this regard as well as tackle, line weights,
reels, lures etc.

Was sold a spoon and mino popper at my local tackle shop. as well as a 9 ft
rod, coffee grinder and 25 lb breaking strain mono. Am I on the right track?

Regards,

les.

Hi Les,
I think you would be best to ask about Pike fishing on
uk.rec.fishing.coarse.
Over here we don't exactly think of Pike as game fish :-)
(Mind you some of us DO fish for them when there's no trout around, a la
2004!)
I'll email you with some other stuff so as these game boys don't give me
a hard time for being OT:-)
Cheers,
Alec

I've seen you fishing - *THAT* was pretty coarse :-)
