new member saying Hi

[steve51]

Took me a while to get round to saying hello to you all, but I have managed it at last. Ive decided to try to learn how to catch the things with teeth. I have spent the last 50 years catching carp and trout and now its time for a change. As I know next to nothing about pike Ive decided to join the local PAC but I'm not sure there is one in Sheffield, if someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful. I did venture out at the end of last year spinning and I ) did manage a couple of jacks on the Lincolnshire drains , this did give me a taste of what I hope will be an exciting times to come.
