pike book

[commonhunter86]

looking for a pike book which is good read with captures of big pike anyone recommend of the below-

big water pike fishing, just williams, mega pike the return, the great modern pike anglers,

[markskinner]

Pac30 :)

[daveaylett]

But for really good stories of pike over 35lbs (and how it really is) then its got to be Mega Pike the Return.

And the book includes not one but TWO of 39lbs :eek: :eek: :eek:

(But then i may be a bit bias LOL.!! )

Big water and Mega Pike are both good.

As is PAC30 and Harpers Broadland Pike.

PAC30 Best value and widest range of inspirational tales out there.

Try the Doomsday Book of Mamouth Pike by Fred Buller
top read

Mega Pike (the return) if only for Jason Davies chapter on the capture of those 35 + 's. What was it, 5 in 3 days including two recapture.

Of those mentioned Mega Pike the return is a blinding read as is PAC30, theres also one even better mentioned at the bottom of this post!!!!

or not....

Having both, Mega Pike is a better read than Dennis Moules and your Fenland Pike, good though it is. My opinion of course.

OOh where's that gone?????

Better not add it back again or I will be banned.........Again :D

S'fair enough Paul, everyones opinions differ and at least you have the two to compare. :)

I did like the Fenland history bit. Having done a fair bit of wildfowling on the 'Washes' back in the late 80' and early 90's, and having a few books on fowling in the area I have something of a liking for the flat lands.
Ernie James' life story 'Fenland Tiger' is a good read.

In all fairness to Mark and Denis' book, Fenland Pike really is a fantastic read as well, i know when i picked mine up, when i got it back home (even tho it was 10pm ish) i couldnt put it down and read it cover to cover!!

Again, a proper piking book that tells it how it is as well as interesting facts about the fens.

(i'd have read it quicker if i'd had Fenland six fingered hands LOL)..

[goughie]

For me, Dave Horton's "Ultimate Pike" and John Watson's "A Pikers Progress" (or the updated "A Piker's Progression") are the best two pike books I have read.

[Kestrel]

Mick "The Duke " Browns book is a good read and some cracking photo's.Also "Watto's" book is good also.

But their are plenty to go for,as others have suggested.Roll on the Autumn:thumbs:

[mr_penetrator]

Mega pike, the first one. mostly because I spent most mornings riding past that pit on my way to college at that bloody time! :cry:

[commonhunter86]

thanks for the advice going to go for mega pike the return.

read micks book that was my first pike read which lead me to fish the dead arm (r severn) :thumbs:

[lyndon]

I have them all and can't really say which I like the best of all. Mega Pike the return is a great read but my advice would be go for the PAC 30. Not only a great all around read but the profit goes to support an organisation that fights the Pikers and the Pikes corner.
