Roger Carswell fished the last few weeks of the 2018/19 season which produced this stunning 13lb 10oz Club record Barbel from a very high river. Roger fished couple of big Lobworms on a simple rig with a large hook in a slack on the inside of the bank.

Well, we knew it wouldn’t be long for someone broke the record again. Here it is, SAC member David Reynolds with a superb 22lb 4oz lure caught Pike from an unnamed SAC River Severn section. What an awesome fish, well done David!

Club Record February 2018 22lb 4oz,

SAC Secretary, Chris Wood, caught a club record Pike at 16lb from Preston Boats this weekend. Chris, a prolific Pike angler, fished a Mackerel tail on the bottom at close range. Although we believe bigger Pike have come from this section over the years, the record list has only been going since the start of the club in 2016. This is a fantastic fish but this record may not hold for too long. Can you beat it? Pike are now at their heaviest at this time of year as they are packing on weight ready for spawning. There’s no better time to get on the river and try.
