Pike Final Rules

ANGLING TRUST BRITISH PIKE FINAL 2021

The British Pike Championship 2021 took place on Twenty Foot drain and Glassmore bank at Whittlesey, Cambs, on Saturday.

This year’s event saw a massive 66 pike being landed by 47 anglers, most fish averaging between four to nine pounds, and this year’s winner landing a specimen of eleven pounds to bolster his winning weight.

The man in question John Watson was crowned British Pike Champion 2021 and he put together a splendid four fish bag for 23lb 5oz from the Twenty Foot. John caught by masterfully alternating between roach and smelt deadbaits, both floatfished and ledgered.

John added ‘There are some real leviathans still in here and a great head of fish to be caught. I began fishing the pike matches with my brothers having been introduced by my dad, and it was our annual family match.’ John’s not alone in this as the social side of the event is tangible with plenty of families fishing, in the form of dads and sons, husbands and wives.

The Ladies Champion was unfortunately drawn this year as the ladies suffered some poor pegs. The lucky winner was Joan Coale who’s won the trophy before.

This year’s Junior winner is Joel Chapman who managed to catch a brace of pike for 8lb, one early in the day and the other in the last hour, which goes to show, you can’t sit back in any competition and that includes one targeting pike.

Full results of the Championships are HERE.

Our continued and sincerest thanks to both Whittlesey Angling Association and Andy Jackson for hosting and running the event this year.
