Pikeman 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 In what way? Since when? And why? explain, lol. i had 2 twentys in febuary....... You did very well indeed. I have a number of Scottish friends who rarely fish there now as it is not a shadow of it's former self, I haven't been for a number of years. Still a beautiful place to fish and I'm sure you'll have a good time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still a beautiful place to fish and I'm sure you'll have a good time. Lol, have a good time, i am a guide on there. I have one of my boats moored on there. I have fished on the water for 20years. Your right, it isnt as good as it used to be but you tell me where you can go and catch 40 twentys in a day from the bank. It makes me laugh, i have heard it over and over, guys go on, blank after 2 days and call it crap, especially the scottish, which by the way, i am myself. Take no notice of them go fish it yourself, you'll see it is still very capable.4 30's out of one of the spwaning grounds in a month last season is bad really is it. Just get to know the water, and dont follow the bandwagon. p.s. i blanked for 5 days on loch awe in October, i dont think it doesnt maean its not worth fishing, lol. tight lines..

Russ 40 twenties in a day? Are you serious? That's a ridiculous number to claim from any water anywhere. I'm afraid bandying ludicrous figures like that around isn't doing your credibility any good at all. 40 pike in a day would be a tremendous day but forty twenties is just pure fantasy. Do you have photographs to back these claims up? I'm astonished that you haven't used these statistics to advertise your guiding business as they would make you the most succesful pike angler in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
