During the recent Chew Valley Pike Trials, I filmed two sessions for Sky TV's Tight Lines program. My fishing partner for the day was Bristol Water's Assistant Fishery Manager Tony Donnelly. We fished using deadbaits on one day and lures the next.
The bait session is being shown on Friday 20th December and the Lure session on Friday 10th January 2014.
We managed to get some great footage on each session and the shows go out on Sky Sports.
Following our recent TV Series on C5 - Chris Tarrant Goes Fishing, both CT and I were back together again on Chew fishing for pike at the end of November.
This time Chris was accompanied by long time friend Howard Mann and they managed a very creditable 7 pike to the boat over the two days - and all on lures.
The biggest fish weighed a fraction under 20lbs and CT caught it - with his very first cast - on the first day! He really is a fishy bloke!!!!
Howard hooked a monster as well but sadly lost it during the fight. Next time Howard.
