Fortunately for us, we got the Pike Angler extraordinaire
Eric has caught the biggest brace of pike ever taken by a UK angler, fish of 41lb and 37lb from Blithfield reservoir, and will be presenting his talk on [TBA].
He hails from St. Helens, near Liverpool & most of his fishing is done in the North West of England on such waters as the Ribble, Upper Severn and Cheshire Meres.
Eric's pike fishing ambitions include the capture of a Welsh "thirty" to compliment others from England, Ireland and Scotland
Other notable captures include a record tench, caught in 1983 and a bream of 15lbs 2oz, just 4oz off the record at the time of capture. More recently, Eric has had great success with big pike, taking a number of thirty pound plus fish including no less than three over 37lbs in weight with the largest going 41lbs 8oz, caught in 2001.
As usual we will have our excellent Tatty Hash & Raffle in the interlude
All Pikist welcome £5 on the door
