Loch Ken

[topgunny]

Hi. I'm new to pike fishing (only my second time going) and was hoping to beat my father-in-law and brother-in-law as we're going to Loch Ken next Monday for a few days. My father-in-law really kicked our @sses last time and I would love to pull more pike out than him especially! Any particular tips for a newbie or anyone fished Loch Ken who has had some luck at particular spots?

Cheers
John

Thanks Hammy, really appreciate that! I'd be chuffed with anything in double figures!

I too am going to Loch Ken in three weeks, i hope i can get hooked into one of the bigger fish and avoid those Crayfish.

After my first twenty last week i'd like to add to it, so if anyone has any tips or hot spots?
