Incident in Ireland

A new angling group has started up in Ireland. Supposedly to fight angling issues in Ireland such as the immediate banning of all pike angling matches. This follows on from an horrific incident the other week where a pike had a huge lead bar stuffed into its gut. The pike was found dead the day after the club match, and there have been many calls for the person concerned to be named and shamed. See attached photo.
More info on the new group will follow in a separate post.

Wayne Lees

Another Wayne who has that 'Golden Touch' is newcomer Wayne Lees who sent me this cracking photo earler today. Just had to add it as the fish is beautifully proportioned.

Stu Parker

Stu had a 'Golden' day yesterday whilst out on the Fens with Old Golden himself. Wayne sent in the pics of Stu with a nice brace of zander and pike. Nice one mate.
