Evocative images, as we just waited for a run. The usual ledgered big mackeral deadbaits out over a box of chop.
Sitting and waiting.....
I started piking in 1977, over 30 years ago. I still love fishing and fishing for big pike in particular. Although its going to take the rest of this year I plan to steadily add content by year starting in 1978 when I caught my first "20" up to the present day. Stories, photos (fortunately I still have most or all of my pictures going back 30 years) and a lot of local piking history. Once I have caught up with the history I will then start adding content for 2011.

1979 - Peat Diggings on the Levels
This is what a drain looks inside like when its being cut through the peat. Photo taken near Burtle I think.

1979 - Sunset over Cheddar (or Axbridge) Reservoir
Cheddar (or Axbridge) Reservoir at dusk. An amazing sunset over the Mendips. Sitting it out on the "V" swim over a couple of mackeral deadbaits in the Autumn.
