Well Sam - guess Jack... didn't like your offer or ideas. After all, what could a US guy know about Zander? LMAO

 

Would you estimate your total walleye landed to date to be in the hundreds or thousands?

Hey Newt, Im not sure if You are TALKIN TO ME? Because your figures might be a tad low? Are you asking how many I have eaten?, or how many I have caught?...Just a simple question mate, this is'nt rocket science, ya know!!!...I understand that yoooou know, (Newt), that I am in the heartland of the walleye/zander fishery of the known world. Soon Mr. Zanderless Jack Pike,(with respects mate) will be(hopefully) Landing zanders that is gear wont even be able to handle. (then I might have to cart my arse off to the UK and give my mate a hand on the zander situation, and try to get in on some of the hot fishing...all in the way of sharing...of course!)...Sam...PS...I can hear my reel now....zzzzzzzzzzz....zzzzzz..Dang!!... whoooooop theeeere noooooww...whooooooh,,theeeere..Just wait a minute till I get my feet set!!

Helloooooo Jack, Have recieved your address mate, and the package is on the way as of Monday. Hoping the best for your holiday. Instructions on using the baits I send, will be included. These are the simplest and easiest methods to use, to catch zander. These are predators, the easiest fish to fool. So have trust in yourself, and haul in the big ones, and make me a legend in the UK, in my own time ...Sam

Hi Jack

(oops put your hands down)

 

I haven't fished for them for about four years but caught quite a few from the Great Ouse between Ely and Littleport including five doubles. If I was going to fish for them seriously then I would use coarse fish as bait, mainly live. Roach fished on a float paternoster or ledgered in both margins. (sorry if livebait offends but it works and it's legal.) The best time I have found is just into and after dark. My group of freinds never found the need to fish too light (12 lbs is ok) as there are quite a few double figure pike about after dark and once a mate landed a 21.14 catfish at 1am on this stretch. Hope this might help.
