Hi Russ I am probably about 10 years older than you but like yourself I used to fish the Lee (as I lived in Walthamstow) a lot back in the 60's & 70's at Broxbourne, Cheshunt and the channel at Waltham Abbey. Great story about the pike, what a fish . I once caught 2 chub of 4.5lb and 5lb trotting a dead bait (sprat) for pike along that same stretch of the channel at Waltham Abbey. Merry Christmas % tight lines mate.

Just want to mention last week live baiting for perch i caught a 5.08lb bream last cast on a live bait roach. Well shocked but happy with that. Ive heard of bream caught on lures by pike anglers as well. But id loved your pike on maggots all day lol.

Most rivers are controlled by clubs at reasonable annual prices. Some clubs on the Trent can be joined for under £40 a season which is great value. The LAA offers many rivers to fish for around £55 a season and again great value. Hope that helps 👍

Hi Russ, in my teen's, I'd often catch Minnows by accident at Roundhay Park Lake in Leeds, flick it back out, & catch a Perch straight away. Have you tried using "Whitebait" from the Supermarket as an alternative to Minnows ? they are about the same size & saves, killing minnows, for those averse to "Livebaiting".
