SEASONS GREETINGS.

 We take this opportunity in wishing all our followers and fellow Pikers around the world  a very Merry Christmas.

A NOVEMBER TO REMEMBER.

Christmas has come early for two of the region's stalwarts.  Three wonderful Pike caught within a few days of each other have really kick started the region's Winter campaign. Two personal bests the highlights of an extra special month. At the start of the month those fishing the Menteith PAC events had their sights set on a decent fish or two. Bruce Turnbull and Dave Gardner fished on the Saturday with Dave catching a small Jack and a Rainbow Trout at around the 8lb mark. For Bruce it appeared that it was going to be another of those Menty days but his luck changed in the afternoon when he hooked and landed a lovely 24lb fish pictured below.

                                                                 

                                                        

Five members of SENPAC fished the Sunday event. Dave Greally, Andy Eland, Jon Tweddle, Paul "Ghillie" Proctor and Steve "Shark" Sandiford. For Jon it was his first outing on Menteith and it did not take long for him to join the Menty Twenty club. Less than 2 hours into the session Jon struck gold with a stunning fish of 28lb 8ozs. A case of being in the right place at the right time.

                       Dave Greally and Andy Eland had an uneventful day on the lake but Steve did manage to winkle out a few jacks and boat partner for the day Graham did manage a couple of mid doubles.

With two beautiful Pike being caught on Menteith it was back to business as usual for the region.   Bruce had other ideas though and travelled up to one of his favourite spots in the Highlands of Scotland. On his first Piking trip out he encountered bad weather and his reward on the day was one Jack. The next session was to provide Bruce with a stunning new PB eight ounces short of that magic thirty pound mark. The capture of this amazing fish and Bruce's Menteith 24lb can be viewed on You Tube.
