Fishing and Pike Lures

Chris McCully

Chris McCully wrote this book because he felt there had never been a comprehensive study of pike fishing with lures in the English language. He explores the history of pike fishing and pike lures and gives detailed accounts of where, when and how best to catch pike, with fascinating insights into pike behaviour along the way.

' This is an honest book, in all kinds of ways. First and foremost, it is an honest book about how to catch pike with lures, based on personal experience and a great deal of trial and error. Chris is no god - that is the second part of the honesty . . . there is a bit of experience lying behind this book. It gives it an edge, there is no doubt about it. What you get are 270-odd pages on how to catch pike on a lure and I guarantee that by the end of it you should be able to go out and fish for pike on a water near you, confident that you are using the right gear. This book is all the more valuable because Chris draws on the experience of Dutch pike specialists . . . this is a real jewel of a book and I wish Chris had written it a long time ago.' - Andrew Herd, Waterlog
