I think the day that pike get nicknames is the day I'll quit (laughter)

Just to say thanks to those that were helpfull, and i dont want to go on about this i think the response i got on a whole was to not have even asked such a question. First and foremost i am a pike man and have never fished for carp it is too commercialised and expensive. I have had some great days out in the lakes both with fish and without. I have had 20+ so i just wanted to try and get to fish a Loch were this could be repeated, Look enough said didnt want to sound as if record fish is be all and end all, but it would be nice. Sorry to all the purists, and thanks to the aspirations of the few.....

P.S. this is in general and not aimed at you personally Neil just your the last one on the post Scott....

There are some monsters in Loch Ness.

To be honest, I think where the lochs are concerned there is maybe less danger from the people that fish of the backs of others, than with smaller waters, like for example the hampsire avon, when that contained the pike which is in the domesday book of mammoth pike, it was hammered, just for that one fish. On the other hand, if a loch like loch lomond was shown to hold massive pike, then yes, it might get some fish chasers swanning about on its surface, but on the whole, i think alot of general anglers would be less likely to go chase the fish due to its sheer size. Also a pike would be far safer in Lomond than in a small reservoir, in terms of recapture possibilty.

 

But, saying that I can see why some may be less than willing to divulge information on there sacred waters on the internet.

 

Happy mondays; dont neccesaily take the lack of response of people on this issue as an indicator of general angling attitude, its just where the internet is involved, people have learned to keep quiet, i mean the audience is massive here, and as such people are twitchy with regards to what they say, or more accurately, publicise. Its so much different to general tackleshop, or pub chit chat.
