On this occasion I was convinced than an Eel was responsible, hence the over zealous sweep of the rod. The Dyson rig allows me to present a bait a little bit away from the "average" Pike angler's efforts, thus I see it as just another edge in my favour.

I use Google Maps to locate likely looking sections of this magnificent waterway, only then do I bother taking a drive down to see what might be available. Good luck and tight lines with your own angling - DylanDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-33191641535956655512021-10-12T18:36:08.399+01:002021-10-12T18:36:08.399+01:00Thanks for response Dylan, I live in Peterborough...Thanks for response Dylan, I live in Peterborough but fancied a close up look at the RMC so walked it all over 3 days back in May 2015 must admit despite being so close to heavily built up areas many stretches showed little or no sign of being fished and I only meet up with odd dog walkers the whole time. Re Dyson rig thanks for clarification 👍IanGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877150476182403724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-21939453013007376222021-10-12T16:43:05.798+01:002021-10-12T16:43:05.798+01:00Hi Ian,
Cheers for taking time to comment, always ...Hi Ian,<br />Cheers for taking time to comment, always welcome. As to what type of "piker" visits my blog I have absolutely no idea. All I will say is that if they are hoping for a free ride, they've come to the wrong place. The East Kent "flatlands" cover hundreds of square miles whilst the RMC is a 29 mile long Pike swim. I deliberately avoid naming areas when writing my blogs. If someone is able to recognise the background, in a photo, they are already aware of the angling potential of that venue?<br />My use of a Dyson rig, as opposed to a straight forward paternoster set-up, is purely down to personal preference. I knew Colin Dyson when he was editor of Angler's Mail and was convinced of his methodology after speaking with him. My brother Simon, and I, used this rig for Catfish in Tiddenfoot, during the mid-80's, with outstanding results. I feel it's a confidence thing, so am much more happy when I employ this particular suspended bait set-up than any other version. Personal preference and that's about it!

Ho...Nice fish and a good start to your pike season. Hope your blog isn’t followed by a certain type of piker ! Incidentally why a dyson rig and not a straightforward pat ?
