The pike grow to over 201b and fight like fury in the clear, boulder-strewn watts. Use at least 151b breaking strain line and a 281b wire trace. Livjbaits and deadbaits are successful here, but in the warmer months lures can provide sizzling action. Floating- diving plugs like Bomber Long as fished over the weeds are very effective. —————————————————————————p——————p—4/11— Supplied by PRACTICAL COARSE FISHING ALL THE LATEST JOB NEWS p651 Gardening Men's talk Wjekjnd Go Green!P487 Teletext 487 May20 23:10:50 —————— COARSE ————————————p———— Loch Ken has a reputation for big pike, as well as truly massive shoals of roach.
