Hi folks,
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on a couple of things?
Firstly i'm planning to take a fishing buddy piking (this will be the second time as we both blanked at Newark on the first occasion), i've been pike fishing my whole life and he's very keen to get involved with pike but inexperienced and wanting to know how to handle and unhook properly so i'm eager to try and find a fish or two and was thinking about Collingham with a roving deadbait approach and settling up for longer periods in likely looking swims but have never fished this part of the river before... does the state of the tide tend to affect the fishing and if so what are the best states?
Also, having had a look on Google Earth I was wondering if the opposite bank on the Cromwell village and lock side was fishable on a day ticket as it looks as though there is access and a car park close to the river?
Thanks in advance and appreciate any info guys, cheers.
Steve.
