Today, Fri June 16, the water temp. was 69F on the river and 72F on the broads. 58-62F is the ideal water temp. for top-water lure fishing.

 

If it's pike that you're wanting to catch, then you've

arrived at the right web site to help you achieve just that!

If you are of a friendly nature, can follow good instruction, like asking questions, 

have fairly good balance, and truly want to learn how to catch and handle pike of all sizes,

you will be very welcome aboard my boat.

 

 

I have been guiding 'professionally' for 10 years.

I have public liability, boat insurance, and commercial boat licence.

 

I have boated well over 200 20lb plus pike for clients to date.

Do you want to catch a big pike?

If your answer's yes, then please take time-out from what you're

doing to read the information contained on my web site.

 

 

Bob Granger (above) dearly wanted to catch a big pike on a lure - and he did!!

Bob 'lured' this superb 30lb 8oz pike just a couple of days into the new season.

 

 

My clients have caught over 200 20lb plus pike using artificial lures and natural fish baits.

 

I have also boated many hundreds of pike between 15lb and 19lb for clients.

 

As for the amount of pike between 10lb and 15lb boated for clients, I lost count many years ago! 

 

 

3 20lb plus pike in just 7 hours!!

 

 

If it's lure, bait or fly fishing that you want to try your hand at, I'm your man!

No other UK pike fishing guide, in my opinion, has my all-round lure and bait fishing experience.

I have boated many thousands of pike for clients since becoming a professional guide.

The superb 28lb pike, seen above, was one of three 20lb

plus pike boated by John Winkle in just 2 days back 04.

 

 

On a return visit in 05, John boated another two 20's - the above being the largest.

 

 

In February 06, John returned yet again to boat another memorable 20lb plus pike - seen above.

 

Six 20lb plus pike in three trips to the Norfolk Broads for John Winkle - well done sir!!

 

 

BEWARE!!

 

Please beware of  'so called guides' that do not have public liability, boat insurance, or a

commercial boat licence - which is required by law if you take out paying passengers.

 

If you can't see plenty of photos of big pike on a guides web site, my advice is, don't book up with them!

 

Don't be fooled by the following, or similar, seen on other guides web sites:-

 

'We are unable to show lots of client photos due to a lack of web space.'

 

The truth is, they don't guide that often, and they don't catch very many pike!
