[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 70592, member: 3048"] Hi guys, As this has now turned into a fishing forum i thought i would add my two pence worth. Although we do have a few sturgeon in the UK they are all small and have been introduced into some private stillwaters.I on the otherhand am passionately involved in pike fishing, of which static dead baiting ( smelt is one of pikes favourites ) and tethered livebaits, usually roach, rudd or perch, are the most popular methods of catching these beautifull fish. The former two methods have accounted for approx. a third of the 216 pike i have caught in the last 3 years, the rest fell to cranks and jerkbaits, with a few falling to the fly which i took up recently. All these lure fishing methods are thanks to you guys over in the US, we now use short stiff baitcasting rods, heavy braided lines, solid traces and big jerk and crankbaits, the only thing we do different to you is that we use left hand wind multipliers, something i can never understand why you guys have'nt taken it up. Makes life a lot easier. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Ian. [/QUOTE]
