thames pike

[adrian hoare]

im finally going pike fishing again in just over 7 hours from now .... any last minute tips guys ? all i have is packets of small and large roach ... tackle shop ran out of pop up sticks and pollan ..... i tend to get more takes with popped up deads than bottom fishing ... i normally only pop a deadbait up so the tail is a couple of inches off bottom and head facing up .......right in the nose of pike .... could struggle tomorrow at teddington lock without this ... any tips you guys would be a big help ... im off to bed now but will check this discussion before i leave in the morning ... cheers lads
