Derek lands a monster Pike!

Derek Downes who stayed with us two weeks ago certainly enjoyed his start to the Piking season when he landed this cracking 24lb 3 oz specimen amongst many other smaller Esox.

The big hen fish was taken on chopped mackerel fishing from the left hand side of the point on Lonsdale.
Like many of our Pike she chewed the morsel in situ for awhile, so Derek initially thought he'd hook into one of our beasty big eels, but as the fight started it was obvious he'd actually hooked a monster Pike!

Well done Derek and special thanks to Mr. Raymond Harris who emailed a copy of the photo across!

In the same week we had Carp at 21lb and Roach at 2lb out - so it's a fruitful autumn all round!

Some accomodation is still available for Half-Term - call 01228 562655 or email lonspark@aol.com for details or to book!
