A New Pike Float For " The Pike Whisperer "

If you are a fisherman especially a pike fisherman from Manchester this kid needs no introduction.

" Kayden McCarthy "

Is a member of Salford Friendly Anglers and 
an exceptional young Pike angler.
Like all young keen fisheman he is on the banks more than most adults and as we all know only too well........
location is key !!!!!!!!!

In the last few years Kayden has caught some massive crocs from the inner Manchester canal systems.

At the Salford Friendly Anglers Christmas doo after Kayden has won the

" Fish Of The Year "
 competition
For the second time.
( A feet un-acheived by any adults I might add )
I thought I would ask his opinion on a new pike float I had made.
As I showed him his eyes lit up . . .

" You can have this if you like m8 "
I added, glad I could help the lad out.

" Mike, its lovely, but, for the canal . . . .
Its . . . . . .
TOO LONG . . . "
we both said laughing in unison.
I had made the new pike float for reservoir fishing so i understood the disappointment in the young lads face
😕
Thinking on my feet I told Kayden about a pair of new
" Retro Pike Floats"
I have been constructing.
and promised to make him one for his future adventures.
The first one went well which was a
in line slider float as previously posted.

Kaydens was a nightmare. . . .
I made the same mistake twice on the float.
Twice I had to start from scratch which is very annoying
and disappointing to me and to Kayden to no doubt.
But at least it's finished now and is ready to go.
All be it at the end of the season.
😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

Here is Kaydens new float
A Retro Cork, Sight Bob Pike Float in day glow orange with black, purple and gold whippings.
I hope, as discussed, this float is not to heavy for your needs my young friend.
If so I can always make you a lighter version . . But . . . .
You will probably be 20 by the time I get round to finishing it. !!!!!!!
LMAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some of Kadens "Croc" catches.

Until the next time. . . . .

Mini Driftbeaters....The Christening

Image
 Morning all , The day had come to christen our new prototype Mini Driftbeaters. With Salford Pete in tow we arrived at a local venue and set up ready for a days float fishing. I marched off in front to secure our pegs while Salford Pete seemed to take an age to arrive. He was talking and walking slowly to some other bloke I did not recognise. It was only when he got closer did I recognise my old mate  "The Castertman" He popped down to see another mate of his who was also fishing. We had a chat for five minutes then Casterman skipped off stating he would be back when we had both set up and started fishing. Ten minutes later me and the oldman were ready for the all in. I was fishing off the bottom initially to see if I could catch some of the good quality silvers which were present in the lake. The driftbeater was set up with three segments showing plus the sight bob with just one number eight dropshot ten centimeters from the hook. "The Casterman" arrived just as I

River Irwell PB On A New Mini- Alloy Stem Avon

Image
 Hi all, I had a short session to test some Mini-Alloy Stem Avons out this morning and ... BOY.......AM I GLAD I DID !!!!!! I hoped down to the SFAs stretch of the Irwell to hopfully grab some grayling pictures with my new trotters. It was a smash and grab raid as I was taking out  T.O.W.M.B.O. (THE ONE WHO MUST BE OBAYED) out for an early Valentines Dinner. (So Im frantically witting this blog as Dudds has put me under some considerable pressure to get it to you tonight) 😆 I got up late to throw a spanner in the works as well. I managed a few coats of paint on some other floats I am currently making then it was off to the river. I had a few grayling within the first ten minutes so my pictures were in the bag early doors. 😁 I checked my pictures and concluded they where what I was after and therefore could now relax for the next hour, enjoying the peace of being out in the fresh air as the new avon meandered along then bobed under  "Hmm another lady I thought"...... the the
