The Pike Anglers of Cambourne<br />
Firstly the Pike Anglers of Cambourne would like to CONGRATULATE Nigel on winning<br />
the Cambourne Predator Cup. After a long enjoyable winter - and six Predator Cup<br />
rounds -we are delighted to say that Nigel thoroughly deserved winning the Cup, espe-<br />
cially after he had put a lot of time and effort in over the wintry months.<br />
A total of 33 Pike were caught during the six rounds of the cup. These had been fished<br />
for once a month over six months and, surprisingly, only one fish managed to weigh<br />
over ten pounds. This was caught by Nigel himself on the sixteen foot drain and<br />
Unfortunately a decision was made a couple of days prior to the sixth round: The Predator Cup was to be<br />
postponed due to personal unforeseen circumstances which had occurred a couple of days earlier.<br />
We felt that the 2006/2007 season was a good one for us as we had caught a total of 78 Pike, 14 of which<br />
weighed over ten pounds, and four weighed over fifteen pounds. Unfortunately our hopes of a twenty pound<br />
pike were dashed, but there’s always next season…The biggest Pike of the season was caught by yours truly<br />
on the Old Bedford River. This weighed 16lb 8ozs, and Nigel followed suit with a sixteen pound Pike the<br />
same day only 8 oz lighter.<br />
We had very little idea of what to expect from these waters when the season first started, so now with the<br />
knowledge that we have gained this should bode well for the next winter season.<br />
The Predator Cup will be fished for again next season; once again we shall fish once a month over six<br />
months with no fees to be paid and no prize money to be fished for, it’s just a fun Cup to fish for amongst<br />
the group. Only one change will be made to next season’s cup which will be to include Zander. If any are<br />
caught on Predator Cup days, the weight of the fish will count as double; for example if a Zander of 5lb is<br />
caught it will then be counted as a 10lb fish, Simple!<br />
Many thanks to those who participated in the Predator Cup; we certainly hope to see you all again next sea-<br />
son.<br />
