PIKE MATCHES

With so many pike showing on the North Level Drain in recent weeks its no real surprise to learn that Tydd Gote AC are going to be running a series of pike matches.

The first of five events comes up this Saturday with the draw scheduled to take place at 8am.

The club have called the series The North Level Pike Challenge and the eventual winner will receive £100 donated by Tydd Gote Angling Club plus top-up money from the series and a trophy.

The biggest fish of the series will also win a cash prize and a trophy.

The club’s local rules will apply so make sure you are fully up to date with them. The main rule though is strictly no live baiting.
