Eric Edwards pike blog: Cold Turkey

This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Eric Edwards pike blog: Cold Turkey

Nice one, Eric! Not such a bad start, eh? Over the years (the decades!) I've spent a great deal of time, money and effort trying to get to grips with the likes of Lomond, Awe, Llandegfedd, Ken, Bassenthwaite and so on WITHOUT the aid of a fish-finder. Given the enormity of some of these waters, and the heavy odds against sorting-out a fish, I've concluded that fish-finders - on balance - are ok (This is an old argument, I know) But somehow, it still rankles with me to read (anywhere, Eric) of individual fish being located. then fished for. I can't quite bring myself to love a fish-locating device. Nonetheless, if I were back on Lomond today, or bobbing about on Windermere, I'm sure I'd want one! Thanks for letting us know of the day the Earth moved for you - couldn't you find anywhere better than the back-seat of a car, Eric!

admire your dedication, well done

Nice one. Surprised me about the earthquake though, at first I thought the rumbling was going to be something to do with your curry...............!

Cheers, Nick

enjoying the blog. Id be happy with those fish given the conditions.

Got to admire your dedication Eric, Did you have your umberella up.
