Pike book wanted

[SPSwallow]

If you have a good one you don't need anymore i'd like to buy it off you, thanks

[Dick Dastardly]

Pike books are a funny thing.If I was asked to reccomend a book for any other species I would have no hesitation at all.But with pike books its very hard.Basicly because I cant think of one that covers everything or has a rounded mixture of methods,technical stuff,biology and stories!

I know what you mean. I've looked on Amazon and it is scarce pickings. I could just use the internet for any knowledge but I can't get on with reading off a screen but can read for hours from a book even though it is just the same. Plus I like to read on the bankside

[Dick Dastardly]

Yes I dont like reading on screen either.

 

I suppose for "How to" type information any of the stuff by Wilson.Ive not read any of his species specific books but what Ive seen in his general books is quite good.

 

For old time stuff (but they cover some of the lost "arts" such as location better) Anything by Rickards or Webb.More modern are books by Fickling or Brown.Allthough worth a read and a good read at that titles by Eddie Turner or Dave Horton are a bit more advanced.

 

Not a great lover of the man or his veiws on pike but Bailey's (cant remember his co auther at the moment Page?) "The Predater becomes the Prey" is not to sad.

 

Trouble with books though is they dont teach you or give you confidence in the most important of pike fishing skills and that is handling and unhooking. Only way you can safely get that is by actually being shown by a competent pike angler.

[Dick Dastardly]

Mind you after saying that the stuff on the PAC site and some of the vidio?DVD's can give a reasonable insight.

 

Also I have absolutely no idea whats in the PAC's recent books.

[Peter Waller]

Predator becomes the prey has some excellent stuff on the Broads. Pike by Fred Buller is a darn good read, one of the great pike books.

The one I would reccommend is The Fox Guide to Modern Pike Fishing. Its £11.99 and yes its a bit of a constant advert for Fox tackle BUT it explains pike fishing easily and has some great pictures.
