Pike Pool 25 ( Rob Sidell )

Post by Emma Hamilton »

The Pike Pool asked a "Quiet Man" for an article. Norfolk piker Rob Sidell has a good few big pike under his belt make no mistake.

Rob delivers his debut article for us Pool-siders. Real goodun it is too. Rob reminds us all that biggest is not always the best.

Written from the heart, his writing and detail shine through. Check the markings out on his pike, drop dead gorgeous or what ?

Feel the Love and Enjoy !

A superb read that Rob, well done! Those pike look positively Swedish. Incredible markings! Nothing beats when a hunch is proven correct eh?

And the responses to the Pike Pool articles are making me wonder increasingly if James had got it slightly wrong with PnP? Most have been anecdotal and I can remember James often pointing out that he didn't think people wanted that kind of thing in the mag. It seems a mighty popular format amongst the board's members.
