Winter Pike Fishing Begins

Here we go, the weather has finally turned and its time to start pike fishing. Met up with my old mate Mick for a trip to the tackle shop. A couple of new semi-barbless traces later, and we're off to the fish monger; 5 herring, 5 sardines and a handful of spratts (just encase we need to scale down). These, along with the roach deadbaits from the tackle shop, should be plenty for a days pike fishing.
The venue is the Ringstead Complex in Northants on the WDNAC. The complex gives us plenty of options as it comprises of a backbrook, main river Nene, a lock cut and 2 large lakes. What ever conditions your faced with on arrival, there is always somewhere suitable to fish.

Well, thats all for now, weather doesn't look great for Saturday(wet and windy, 12-14*C)

We'll let you know how we get on.........
