Erk -you've made my mind up for me, Chris. If you struggled on the Moors, I'll have no chance tomorrow, so will try for a pike at Dixons with the potential to have another bash at my Hambridge canal swim later on (had 43 roach there in less than 2 hours @2 degrees yesterday after the 50 last week. OK, all small so far, but fun). Enjoy that annual clean and have a great Christmas.

Judging by the size of the pike I glimpsed yesterday - I'd be heading back to Enborne with some pike gear! Also suspect that the venue might have a lowish signal population due to all the perch.... so Mrs Esox has a chance of finding you deadbait before a crayfish does!

Sound advice, Chris, but I didn't pick it up soon enough to take heed and prevent a blank. I'll maybe give it a go in the week ahead and report back if I do.
