The Pikers Pit

Hi!

I’m a pike angler from the north of Italy. After years of lure fishing only, four years ago I started a new adventure with deadbaits and, more recently, live baits... this strengthened a lot my personal development as a piker, and it is every day a new incentive while fishing. Depending on the spot and the period, I actually alternate techniques.
Unfortunately, in Italy, beliefs about piking with baits are actually extremely negative, thus there are not many people to confront with and to learn something new.
I discovered your forum and I enjoyed it, so I decided to join you.

(Moreover, it will certainly help in improving my English: I’m still working on it)

Thanks!

Doesn't that apply to every country around the globe Mike, their command of the language is usually good, I spent some time in Chamonix hunting and always remember a girl I attempted to converse with all day, she had a borsoi which followed her everywhere, anyway when we hit Geneva that night in the bars ...she spoke immaculate English, she found it amusing to watch me flounder....

Thank to all of you!

You are extremely kind!

Yes, the southern pike is a beautiful animal! It is sad to say that even here, in its homeland, it is disappearing, leaving the place to the northern pike or hybrids, and remaining confined in some strongholds of the species ... nonetheless, sometimes pure fish show up even where they were thought to be lost! Hope to show you some good ones!

Hello Pk
Welcome

Many years ago I spent a short time in Northern Italy.
We were based at Bovec in Slovenia, fishing the River Soca for trout, just month's before war broke out in Yugoslavia.
We crossed the border and spent a few days walking out from Tarvisio.

Welcome

Thanks again to all of you, guys!
