Thanks for the post, really made me laugh 😂

Reminds me of watching some blokes during the summer frothing up the water from the other bank. I did let out an audible laugh when one of them got tethered to an island. Stopped his shenanigans quick sharp.

Hi Steve.. Speaking as a part time Piking Nobber.. I do agree with you regarding the apparent increase in numbers ( angling in general has seen a HUGE increase in numbers because of time avail) and the lack of etiquette.However not all of us are bad, (there's plenty on here dabble in the colder months when the carp arnt so obliging) i expect they have paid their money same as you, so have as much right to fish as you. Perhaps instead of slating them because they have the audacity to fish the same venue,you could have a quiet word and explain you have a bait in the area..im sure an apology would be forthcoming..you might even find it interesting

Has anyone else noticed the abundance of pike fishermen this winter?
I don’t wish to generalise, but they are proving to be an absolute pain in the ar5e on my chosen winter waters. They have a habit of taking up the swims that tend to have winter carp form, and ignore the obvious pikey spots. They’ll smash deadbaits around all over the place about every hour, and then when they get bored, they walk around the entire lake whacking out massive lures from every available swim, and then retrieving them at about 50mph! A couple of the lakes I fish are only a few acres and these doughnuts have no conception of etiquette or stealth and will kill any activity on a whole lake within an hour!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but I’m yet to see one of these nobbers catch anything. I seem to catch more pike when reeling in a bright pop up!
I’ve now decided to avoid any waters that contain a head of pike for the rest of the winter. I can’t remember it being this bad before. What is going on?!
