The biggest of the fish he’d landed prior to the ‘thirty’ weighed 29lb 10oz and was a PB at the time, with all of his fish coming from a trout water. His successful tactic has been float legered mackerel and herring, juiced-up with added attractants.

He’s been targeting an area where there are lots of ledges and drop-offs down to around 20ft of water – the perfect location for pike to ambush prey fish. The biggest fish came from a spot where it’s 8ft deep, right on top of a ledge. With plenty of time left this season, Tony’s excited to see what the remaining months bring.

Well done Tony!
