PIKE SEASON COMES TO AN ABRUPT END.

The members of SENPAC had so much to look forward to in March with the PAC event on Menteith and the region's social event the Jolly Boys outing, but in the end it did not work out the way we wanted it to with the final stumbling block being the Covid - 19 outbreak.  Seven of our members took part in the Menteith event in Mid March. Before the start of the event we were pretty confident that someone would catch a decent fish but as the day passed by it was very apparent that it was going to be one of those days. Conditions during the morning were fine but the afternoon brought rain and blustery conditions. More Trout caught than Pike at the end of the day. Best fish for our group was a late afternoon 15lb for Andy McIntosh. Never mind the show goes on and we look forward to our next visit.

A Late In The Day 15lb For Andy.

Mike. Rainbow Trout Only.

Just One Of Those Days.

After Menteith we had the Jolly Boys outing to look forward too but that was quickly cancelled and will be re arranged at a future date. Best fish of the month and one of the best fish of the season fell to the man in form Bruce Turnbull with a stunning fish weighing in at 24lb 8 ozs.

 Footage of the capture of this magnificent fish can be seen on An Anglers Diary Chapter 7. 

The final chapter of our Piking season was the last leg of our Winter SENPAC Pike championship. Once again the big fish failed to turn up but in the end it was Dave Greally who romped home to lift the trophy once again. In second place a gallant effort from Paul Proctor with Bruce Turnbull in third place and Peter Armstrong in fourth position.

We now look forward to our Summer season when we will again be out and about on various waters. We will also be having our regular competitions as well. Who knows when we will all be out on the bank again. Hopefully sooner than later. In closing we will leave you with another couple of idyllic photos taken whilst on our travels. Once again we would like to thank our readers all over the world for tuning in to our blog. We will be back soon with more photos and stories from the world of SENPAC. Stay safe and be sensible and we will see you all soon.
