I am on a lake in the lake district in England just now on a cruise – it is -1 and we just passed some hardy souls out pike fishing in boats …
Interestingly the guy driving our boat told us about the whole range of fish in the lake – trout, salmon, perch etc – he told us the biggest pike to be pulled from the lake was a whopping 18.5 stone!!!
His name was George Pike from Brighton and he fell off the pier!
Feels strange looking out from a pleasure boat onto anglers in small boats. Makes pne think that you should be in the boat with them.

Aye – I always wonder what non anglers think of anglers in boats – I wondered what kind of day they had – obviously to me they just looked like some miserable bastards in a boat however there is every possibility they were having a bonanza 🙂
