Another article added to the Pike Pool.

Re: Pike Pool 5 (Jason Skilton)
Nice story Jason.
Many years ago my mate Marc and myself were fishing the little Ouse for Pike.
When we got chatting to another angler, and Zander came up in the conversation.
Neither of us had caught one, and as the Pike had gone off the feed the other angler
pointed us in the direction of Hilgay bridge.
He said we would be sure to catch one there.
So of we went to find what I believe from memory was the relief channel.
We put out a couple of rods each and proceded to catch 10 Zander (5 each)
That is the extent of my Zander fishing and I have no desire to catch another one.

Good to hear there's still people reading and enjoying the PP stuff. I agree with you all, a nice little story from Jason and a tick in old Yoda's good egg chart.

Although I seem to find increasingly less time to fish for Zeds with each season I can think of few more rewarding sights than the sparkling greens and golds of a nice zander caught in the beam of a head-torch in the folds of your landing net. A truly striking fish!

And the fact that I actually got to see and handle one for the first time.
But to be honest as a target fish they don't float my boat.

Can somebody please email me when this revolutionary stuff that we were promised will arrive please.
Considering that we were supposed to be getting something that was supposedly better than PnP personally I am pretty underwhelmed.

I see the photo of your Irish 24 pounder appeared in P&P again...
It's about time you as an angling (said loosely ) writer should start catching something.

Without wishing to offend because I believe its your first go Jason your piece whilst ok on a blog or diary is lacking a lot if detail which the Ed should be asking you for. as an example, you mention that you switched to roach, but neglected to say if it was live or dead, believe it or not people are bothered and do want to know.
Also there are still numerous spelling mistakes or bad english present.

Wrap up Mark, these are nice storys, written by anglers for anglers, which is what the people want (believe it or not).
So don't start up with your little digs at this new project, I think Chris and his writters are doing a fine job.

Mark, it really isn't my style to pick up on peoples posts like this, but it amuses me that you finish a post with numerous errors and poor punctuation by highlighting other posters errors!
