Angling is my number one passion, an outing on a small woodland pool, my pike season ends and an evolving social media presence

Although not all the waters I fish have an October 1 start to the season, it is a date that I adhere to anyway.

The pike are too active during the summer months and there’s more chance of deep hooking a fish.

Then, of course, there are plenty of other species to have a go at anyway.
