| Maggots for pike? The only pike ive seen fall to maggot was a jack about 5lbs , my dad on the river Teith , was this a freak or is it common practice to fish for pike on maggot alone? __________________ johnboyj "keepin the faith , sometimes"     |

Once again on the retreive, the boilie spins like a lure, and bang! Happened on my local carp lake last month. It's only around 3 acres and the pike weighed 18lb !! No one knew there was a pike in there, including the staff! Suffice to say I've tried a couple of times for her, had one dropped take on sardine, nothing else  |
