Finally, the time has come. Terry's big pike captures has seen him elevated up on Neville Fickling's Notable Big Pike list to number 9. With a total of fifteen 30lb plus pike caught over his 15 yrs pike angling, forty-three over 25lb and 135 x 20lb plussers, it's easy to see why. But what made Terry so successful, other than being on the right waters? Huge 30lb pike caught from drains, lakes and reservoirs,it's been quite a journey. 6 different 30lbers in one storming season !</b><br />
<b>It hasn't all been plain sailing, Terry has been to the brink, his drive and determination has cost him in his personal life. Ability to read a water on any particular day, well that's watercraft and something that takes years to master and hours spent on bank. Terry tells his story, a much awaited talk from the Essex angler who was always a familiar face at our Essex PAC Region meetings. We can't wait !</b><br />

Budgie has fished extensively for pike and cats for too many years that he cares to mention and with eight 30lb plus pike captures he certainly knows a thing or two about catching big pike. Fishing away from our shores saw Steve set up his own guiding service for big catfish, but these days he has settled nearer London and can be found moderating on the PAC's own Facebook group along with other groups.<br />
His online store www.bass-online.co.uk sees him kept busy with selling his stock and servicing reels for all and sundry, we're delighted to have him and Jo bring some of their gear down to us on the night.<br />
<br />
So why not pop along on Tues 16th Dec for our Xmas special, Budgie is a long standing PAC member and it's been a few years since he gave a talk, the big funny guy will keep us enthralled with his tales over the years.

The idea is to raise some funds for the Region, meet up and get slimey !<br />
The Essex Eelchasers will be after the elusive eels, both meets are central Essex area, one of which could prove a real challenge.<br />
If you've never caught Eels by design, let us try and help out with bait and rigs etc, for old Anguilla is somewhat of an elusive creature. You're talking about a fish that can go without food for up to two years, swim backwards and climb up and travel over land. The fight from a specimen eel is certainly an experience you wont forget, you must not give them an inch. Although they eject hooks easily, deephooking is certainly best not practiced and the takes are often swift and savage, being sat over your rods is a must or you'll miss the bites !<br />
Finding whether they take deadbaits or naturals like worm or maggot, sometimes they'll go for all three including sea deadbaits. The dropped runs or missed takes and eels coming off the hook are synonymous with the sport. The fish are mostly unknown and stocks vary, a water can produce just when you think it won't. We take you to two great venues for specimen eels and challenge you, as an angler, to pit your wits.<br />
<br />
If you are not a member, no problem if you'd like to join in the fun, just email essexpac@gmail.com for details of both meets. All we ask is a fiver donation to the Region once from all anglers. Speak to Sean Ellis RO now, if you have not received an email from us but want to come fishing :) Time for a challenge !Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027048233935438732.post-76199789768984264502014-05-18T12:38:00.001-07:002014-05-18T12:38:23.781-07:00Big thanks to Julian Chidgey, our last guest speaker of the season<span style="background-color: #e9e9e9; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">Top UK Fox consultant Julian Chidgey came into Essex on WED 5 MARCH to give his presentation on all kinds of predators he fishes for. From 30lb reservoir pike, to sharks caught in a small inflatable, Jules, 30, described his amazing angling career. Currently working on the British Lure Championship to be shown on Sky Sports, our Jules is certainly a busy man. With Inspired Angling Services being Jules' company, he offers a full guiding service including exclusive carp and predator fishing and works in the media presenting Extreme Carp and the Fox set of tackle DVD's along with the many publications he has written in and was Drennan Cup winner in 2010.</span><div>
Certainly a very funny and informative talk, Julian told us about his new love of sharks and how he loves catching them in his small rib boat !

<div align="justify" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We welcome an exciting new talk to Essex PAC on Wed 5th Feb when Dave Moore travels up from Dorset. Dave originated from Dagenham and has fished extensively in Essex in his early days. He progressed onto angling for Catfish, running a tour company in Spain. He actually got a customer of his a new World Catfish record.</div>
<div align="justify" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Moving on a bit and Dave ran into a novice pike angler in Nathan Edgell, the pair struck up a friendship that extends to this day and Nathan has certainly gone onto become an established big pike captor now. The two still meet up to fish and share some great days together and Nathan will be accompanying Dave up to Essex for his first PAC talk.</div>
<div align="justify" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dave in his own words promises "to tell it how it is. My own aspirations for the sport. The ups and downs of my piking years told in detail, no stone left unturned" and for those who might know Dave already, we can promise you all an absolute hoot of an evening. We even have some unseen footage featuring Nathan Edgell to get us all giggling. There is no doubt Dave is one of life's big characters, he's caught some extreme fish, is a very funny guy who we'll warm to instantly. Expect laughs galore, you won't want to miss this.</div>
<div align="justify" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can see Dave Moore at the Noak Bridge pub, 45 Wash Rd, Noak Bridge, Laindon Essex SS15 4BS 7.30PM Entry is £4 PAC members and £5 non-members. Hot food included and great piker's raffle at half-time.</div>

Since winning junior match leagues on the silvers scene to talking about his roots catching pike on estate lakes, Lionel gives us his view on the pike scene, having fished most parts of the UK.<br />
Lionel Mills has deliberately kept a low profile all the time, preferring to let others take the limelight.<br />
<br />
We can expect some wonderful stories, the ups and downs of piking and a birds eye look at what makes a successful piker on some of the coldest inhospitable places you could wish to be at in the depths of winter ! All for the love of old Esox.<br />
<br />
ESSEX PAC ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME LIONEL MILLS IN AN EVENING OF FISHY TALES AND HIS FAVOURITE PHOTOS FROM HIS ANGLING CAREER SO FAR, YOU CAN SEE HIM AT THE NOAK BRIDGE PUB, 45 WASH ROAD, LAINDON SS15 4BS WED 8th JAN ..7.30PM ENTRY PAC MEMBERS £4, NON PAC £5 FREE HOT FOOD INCSean Ellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058965905001784283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027048233935438732.post-47636852554884457912013-11-13T16:36:00.001-08:002013-12-30T06:26:58.395-08:00Rikki Cooper, a brand new talk for Xmas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8AUa0pEYVTGrudvm-y6hw8I2gYjTNuPPS9YbFK0H84Vxg6v1NiYObtEEAfdOW-mtIvU-neSRq87tXTSHOmefk51YYJbZkv5ZCod3b_FGGsze46Lkp1QB-O4k1g3uRObcKmPCWueR4Mxb8/s1600/rikki+Cooper+big+pike+boat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8AUa0pEYVTGrudvm-y6hw8I2gYjTNuPPS9YbFK0H84Vxg6v1NiYObtEEAfdOW-mtIvU-neSRq87tXTSHOmefk51YYJbZkv5ZCod3b_FGGsze46Lkp1QB-O4k1g3uRObcKmPCWueR4Mxb8/s320/rikki+Cooper+big+pike+boat.jpg" /></a></div>At 36, you could say Rikki has been and done it. A qualified angling coach, ever-present at Essex PAC's coaching youngsters events and can be found in the popular "cafe swim" enjoying some banter. But this cheeky chappie from Kent has been hiding from the limelight now for a good while.<br />
<br />
Often found fishing with Andy Lush, he has connections with him and his ET brand and was the proud winner of the Lure Angling Society (LAS) Bewl Water Chamionship!<br />
But where Rikki really succeeds, is his desire to fish alot. For that reason, simple as it is, Rikki has amassed an amazing 7 pike over the magic 30lb mark, with all but one of them caught from tough rivers. Since catching that huge 8lb pike at 12yrs old, Rikki has a real affinity with river piking. Though his pb pike at 35lb 13oz came from a lake.<br />
<br />
These days, Rikki coaches angling to youths and vulnerable adults as a full-time job since getting his coaching badges in 2012 and he has also guided for large groups in Europe for monster catfishing.

The event was free for all participants. We coached a total of 37 juniors, using 15 coaches and some helpers, including Level 1 and 2 qualified coaches. A decent number of fish were banked, though even more came off the hook and it proved another exciting day for coaches and juniors alike.<br />
Although there are around 50 Regions like ours spread around the UK, we are very proud to be right in the front line of Regional Associations that encourage youngsters into the sport with events like these. Plus, to develop those who want to go further with their fishing, we have the Under 18 squad which begins it’s first season. If it’s pike fishing in Essex you’re interested about, then PAC are the club for you! Especially with free PAC membership for Under 18’s now.<br />

We'll still be here on this blog also in the meantime, displaying what's going on and up-to-date posts.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027048233935438732.post-77700464651637668302013-07-09T03:13:00.000-07:002013-07-09T03:44:02.719-07:00FREE Under 18 Club for Essex PACNow is the time for all those young budding pikers in Essex to join our Under 18 club....and it's all FREE ! We at Essex PAC towers will be offering advice on tackle, watercraft, rigs, venues and much more. We'll be having guest speakers talk to our juniors at a time when they can attend, i.e. not late on a school night! The first talk will be given by Essex PAC RO Sean Ellis with some unseen special photos of some of the world's biggest pike captures. We aim to get youngsters out fishing together, whether it's older teenagers or dads and lads. Those who are a bit unsure as to where to go and what to do, now is the time to join up in readiness for the new season. We'll be onto our sponsors for some free tackle to hand out, we'll show you how to tie your own traces and what wire to use and show you how to handle pike on the bank or if possible, in the water. If we consider you to be a very able angler for your age, then we'll put you forward to sponsors! But most importantly, the emphasis is on FUN......... SO, HOW DO YOU JOIN THE UNDER 18 CLUB ? Simple....just email essexpac@gmail.com and get your name down. Do you have to be a PAC member to join our junior club? NO. Will you have to join the PAC in the future? It's up to you, certainly we suggest everybody that cares for the sport, should join the Pike Anglers Club and show their support.Sean Ellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058965905001784283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027048233935438732.post-64897114813461507312013-06-01T10:27:00.000-07:002013-09-30T17:30:42.073-07:00Sean Ellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058965905001784283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027048233935438732.post-83299056782325985522013-05-14T05:06:00.002-07:002013-05-14T05:40:25.591-07:00Coaching Youngsters 2013 March EventThis year's event was held in conjunction with the Angling Trust led Essex County Angling Development group and sponsored by Eddie Turner http://www.eddieturner.co.uk
Organised by myself and Angling Trust coach and PAC member Nick Watkins, we invited 20 lads to pike fish a lake in Basildon. Coaches included Colin Woodcock , Phil Wilkinson and Kevin Woodward who are PAC members, many thanks to them and all the other coaches on the day. Unlike last year's effort when we coached 80 kids, we were not bound by Sport England's requirements for funding so didn't have to coach that amount of kids and we wanted to have a sustainable amount to deal with this time, not least because we plan to run more events over the course of a year than just the one. We did teach a different set of lads though and i have invited them to a free day's fishing with me next season, on the requirement that they get their junior membership with PAC. The ages varied between 10 to 15yrs old for the majority.
Glad to say the overnight rain had not put the pike off totally and is always the way, certain swims produced better than others so we moved the kids around the lake halfway through. To my knowledge, everybody caught, though i will confirm with Nick and like this season, i shall take them out myself next season to get them fish if they did indeed blank on Saturday. The coaches were treated to chicken,lettuce, mayo wraps at dinnertime and bacon sarnie in the morning !
Many, many thanks to Eddie Turner for supplying some great tackle to pass onto the young lads that attended and stayed all day, we are forever grateful for tackle donations .
We at Essex PAC Region 102 are committed to a programme that will bring on the pikers of tomorrow, that's 100 youngsters who have learnt the basics and will come find the Pike Anglers Club when they are ready. We have many more ideas (one involves catching a plane before we catch pike!) and are having great FUN implementing them every year.

We'd never tried a meeting on a Fri night before and frankly wished we hadn't as most people couldn't make it it seemed! Still, we had a good night and it was great to welcome the boys, although Steve managed to reverse his motorhome into some concrete stairs upon arrival ! Thanks to Colin Woodcock for assisting on the day and thanks to Neil Warren for securing Club water for the Saturday. It started badly, no sooner had i set up the phone rang with some distressing family news and i was forced to rush home, leaving Colin and Neil with the boys. I managed to return at 3pm to witness Shane having an 8lber to the net, the same weight as Steve's fish earlier. Although Shane had loads of follows on his lures, they were not playing ball it seemed and the silvers had gone deep so fishing for livebaits became an impossible task.
Of course i'm convinced had i been there all day we'd caught a lot of livebaits and pike !!
It was great to meet the boys again, before they set off to Birmingham and black pudding and i'm proud to say we gave them their biggest fish after 5 days of trying around the UK and fishing into nasty east winds. Naturally, they were blindfolded to the venue and escorted out afterwards because as everyone knows.. "THERE'S NO PIKE IN ESSEX" ;) !!

Two pikers travelling the length and breadth of the UK, get to fish for Diabetes UK and are helped by some top names and RO's from different PAC regions every day for 2 weeks. On Fri 1st March, they will fish Suffolk with the help of RO Jason Skilton then make their way into Basildon that night to be welcomed by us Essex boys, before fishing Essex the morning after with the Essex PAC RO Sean Ellis. Big thanks to Neil Warren for getting access onto a private Doe's Angling Club water for the day, we hope to catch them more fish than any other region !!
The two guys, or Pikeathletes, competing are Shane Patterson RO and his mate Steve Davison, both from Darlington PAC and you can see their progress at www.pikeathon2013.blogspot.com
On their visit to Essex PAC, we are welcoming the boys at the Winged Horse pub in Luncies Road, Basildon SS14 1SB where upon RO Shane Patterson will give a slideshow and talk on piking in the North East and both the lads will be telling us of their experiences so far after almost a week of Pikeathlon. A lower entrance fee of £3 to get in, Essex PAC will be donating to the charity cause and Fen Tiger will have their tackle stand for all piker's needs! Free hot grub provided on the night, expect to have a real giggle with Shane and Steve telling us of all their pike catches.
PLEASE SUPPORT PIKEATHLON AND ESSEX PAC...... the itinery of their amazing charity fishing expedition will be as follows....

Happy Xmas and a merry New Year from us at Essex PAC towers, delighted to let you all know we have Dr Paul Garner coming into Essex for his live talk. Entitled "Reservoir Dogs", Paul tells of his antics of himself and mates fishing Grafham, Rutland, Pitsford, Blithfield, Chew and Farmoor. Paul is a predator consultant for Nash, Baitbox and Pure Fishing, whilst writing for the Angling Times and Anglers Mail and appearing in January's Pike &Predator mag, front page no less !
Paul, 41, is based in the West Midlands and gained a Docterate in Fisheries Ecology in 1997. He went on to publish numerous scientific papers on the behaviour of coarse fish, we can look forward to some very interesting views from Paul !
He has also produced a book called Underwater Angling and you'll be able to catch a book from Paul during his visit. His ground-breaking book has been an incredible 3yr journey for him and co-writer Stuart Morgan.
You can see Paul Garner at our meeting at the Winged Horse pub in Luncies Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 1SB on 9.1.2013 at 7.30pm. Entry is £4 for PAC members and just a quid more for non-members, FREE hot food included and piker's raffle prizes and pike trade stand. THE BEST NIGHT OUT ANYWHERE FOR PIKERS IN ESSEX !

Phil has pike fished since the age of 12 and caught a huge number of fish with more than 200 twenties from 44 different venues topped by a PB of 40.06 back in February.
A Pike Anglers Club stalwart, our present Liason Officer and himself a former PAC President '06-'09 whilst enjoying the honour of being awarded Pike Angler of the Year in 2004. A respected angler and water authourity scientist, big Phil is also the author of the highly acclaimed book "Pike, here & there" which is his very recent release of his lifetime angling ventures, a truly quality book for pikers. Phil's book will be available to buy on the night. From the Baltics to Ireland to the gravel pits and rivers of our counties nearby, Phil's pike fished all over from both bankside and boat and his presentation is fascinating. Don't miss out !
You can meet Phil Wakeford and watch his LIVE talk at the Winged Horse pub (function room) Luncies Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 1SB on Wed 12 December 2012 at 7.30pm. Evening starts at 7.30pm, usual entry fee £4 PAC members and just a quid more for non-members. FREE hot food at the interval, pikers raffle too.
