I agree and having caught the same lower double 4 times in six weeks ( from a wide area )its true about multiple catches.Tizer wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 1:32 pm I think that whether or not you like it that has to be the way with pike fishing, Pike more than any other fish suffer from publicity ,It happens all the time, someone catch's a big pike , not content with the pleasure that catching a big pike (20lb +) brings, they put it on f******k everyone goes down there and within no time at all that pike is dead...it has happened 4 or 5 times in the last few years since I moved down this way,I had a big pike last winter, I was over the moon, not just because I caught her but also (maybe mainly) because no one knows about it,it was at the end of winter and I thought , at least she should have the whole summer without being fished for,HOPEFULLY.
It was the method of delivery that the way in which the " suggestion" was delivered that I was concerned about! ( me being on a " borrowed" ticket reduced my argument)
