I'm hoping to hit a big Midlands lake this winter in search of a large pike.

I tried that winter pike mullarkey once, and nearly did a captain oates

Static fishing is good in the summer, but in winter the cold inactivity of waiting for a bite isn't outweighed by a catch...takes the fun out of it.

Canal in summer, light 8ft rod, abu baitcaster with braid & lures is where it's at It's a bit like fly fishing but you don't need to be an uppercrust ponce to do it.

Yeah, I agree with the winter cold bit.

One rod with the dead bait on and the other in my hand spinning, that keeps the blood circulating trust me !!

in answer to the original question, I think Bravo2zero from here likes beating off in a bivvy in the wee small hours.....

It's the cranberry shellfish boilies in PVA bags.... he just can't help himself

i think it's carp, but a guy thru work fishes. just came back from a trip to france and he caught a 48lb one and two others a little bit smaller.

not my bag fishing, but the size of this thing was very impressive and you could see he was very chuffed with the catch.

if i heard him right, the largest one caught is about 200lb?

I think carp can get upto about 60 pounds, but a catfish would reach the 200 mark
My personal best is a 20Ib pike which was fairly big

The trick with pike is not to let them get their head out of the water, right till it's on the net & too tired to do anything..

This however is boring. :zzzz:

Get it soundly hooked, ease it up quick as poss, then engage 'jet-ski' mode

A 200lb Carp!, now I'd pay good money to see that

The current world record stands at 86lb, but that's for the carp we all know.

Carp over 100lb are caught in the Mekong along with the illustrious catfish.
