The Greatest of Thanks!

I would just like to say a massive thank you to Mr Pete Climo for Friday night's talk. Despite a less than impressive turnout (weather, apathy, whatever) he gave an absolutely fantastic talk! This man has not only caught some amazing pike but he has done it consistently over a number of years and he was quite willing to explain exactly how he has done it. His talk was interesting, entertaining and informative. Any regions who are looking for a speaker that will blow you away then I would suggest you look no further. Once again thanks very much Pete.

Still on despite the snow!

Tonights meeting is still on despite the snow and rumours of snow!
I would just like to thank Cullompton Carp and Coarse for the late donation of a couple of lures for tonights raffle. It promises to be a good one so see you all there and wrap up warm.

Pete Climo this Friday

Doors open at 7.30, Talk starts at 8, there is a charge on the door of £2 for PAC members and £3 for non-members. We will also be holding our raffle with some great prizes including a signed copy of Neville Ficklings book Big Water Pike Fishing.
Please note that all pike or predator anglers in the area are welcome to come along to Devon PAC meetings whether PAC members or not. Our aim is to make the Devon PAC a friendly group that exists to support pike, pikers and pike fishing, get our views/aims across widely, and provide a way for pike/predator anglers to meet each other socially (and then go fishing).

Tiverton Canal (or "More hits than the Beatles!")

Thanks to the few who turned out on a cold sunday to Tiverton canal especially Paul AKA "Shrek" from the LAS. A shame that even less pike showed up than fishermen. However a fun session was had with Dom eventually taking the pot with 3 pike on the bank for a grand total weight of 4lb 2oz!
Lots of half hearted knocks, hits and takes, suggested that the pike were as unimpressed with the cold as we all were. Still a good time was had by all and the general feeling was that a few joint ventures with the Lure Anglers Society could be on the cards.

Tiverton and District AGM Update.

Well Dominic and I attended the AGM on Friday night with good results. We met a nice bunch of anglers who were interested in what we had to say and who have agreed to adopt the pike rules and handling guidelines that we had prepared for them. I ended up being voted onto the committee, but that can only be a good thing really. Watch this space for the ressurection of the Tiverton and District annual Pike match!

Exeter & District Pike Match

Tiverton and District AGM

This Friday 12th November is the AGM of Tiverton and District Angling. 7.30pm at Tiverton Conservative Club. At the moment the club have no rules in their handbook relating to pike angling, care and welfare etc. We have written to them with a view to addressing this. Also we would like to bring up the question of what seems to be a fairly haphazard approach to the bailiffing of the canal.
Any members of the club who would like to come along and support us would be very welcome.
