Well, we've only just got over those images of huge Irish pike from the fantasic live speaker night with Al Rawlings, suddenly now we are faced with another live show from possibly the biggest name in pike fishing.

Dietmar kicks off 2011/12 season in style

2011-09-29T15:20:00.000-07:00

Dietmar landed at Stansted from Holland to visit Essex Pike Anglers Club and give his first talk/slideshow in the UK for years. And what a night it turned out to be! Dietmar's enthusiasm and technical know-how was a joy to behold as he gave tips on everything from fish-finding equipment and how to use them, to ultra-violet light concerning lures in water. The Euro way of fishing was exposed as Dietmar laid bare his methods to our intrigued audience, whilst showing us his amazing perch/ pike/ zander captures down the years. Dietmar even held the raffle! Special thanks also to Mark Kitson of Sovereign Superbaits for providing raffle prizes and Dietmar too.

Essex PAC would dearly love to thank Dietmar for flying over to visit us, a real eye-opener of a talk, packed with fishing tips, from Fox Int very own European Predator manager

New talks confirmed, latest breaking news!

DIETMAR ISAIASCH, in the new season!

2011-04-17T14:24:00.000-07:00

Dietmar is flying in from Holland on WED September 28th, details to follow. Essex PAC...always great speakers!
Dietmar Isaiasch was born in 1968 and started his angling career as matchman. His extraordinary talent was recognized early on in the junior section of the Recklinghausen Angling Club and he went on to win many national and international titles. Dietmar considers his greatest honour to date as winning the first Predator Team World Championships in France in 2002 where he fished with his wife, Carmen.

Dietmar has fished extensively for pike, zander, perch and other predators for more than 25 years encompassing all techniques from both boat and shore and he started his career writing for the German angling journal Rute & Rolle; later he became co-founder and chief editor for Der Raubfisch and the Dutch journal De Roofvis.

For the past ten years Dietmar has lived with his wife in the Netherlands and currently writes for 15 different angling journals all over the world. His product development skills have resulted in the creation of many unique lure patterns resulting in him being appointed in 2009 as Fox’s European Predator Manager, responsible for the Fox RAGE range.

His trophy catches to date include: pike, 127 cm (20 kg); zander, 107 cm (15 kg) and perch, 54 cm (3 kg)

Lure night.....a success!

2011-04-14T13:07:00.000-07:00

Well, we never set fire to the pub with the two bbq's ablaze all night, so congrats to everyone involved on that score! Special thanks to Mark Brand and Wayne Fletcher for providing a great insight into working those lures on the water and inside the workshop, it really is easy to make incredible lures from home as Wayne proved!
I think a great time was had by all and also thanks to Steve from Franglais Fishing for setting up his tackle stand and also to Bevans Tackle in Chelmsford for yet again supplying raffle prizes.
A fantastic way to round off the first season of Essex PAC for many years, we've had a blast as i hope those who've come along have too. We've got two massive talks planned already for next season so far, we'll keep you posted, just keep an eye on the blog here throughout the summer.
Thanks, Sean Ellis Regional Organizer Essex Pike Anglers Club. Region 102 PACGB.

LOVING THE LURE..WED 13TH APRIL....supported by Franglais Fishing

2011-03-15T10:14:00.000-07:00

WELL, AS WE APPROACH THE LAST LIVE SHOW OF THE SEASON, WE THOUGHT WHAT BETTER WAY THAN TO END IT WITH TWO ESSEX LADS GIVING THEIR TALK ON SOMETHING VERY CLOSE TO THEIR HEARTS....LURES!
MARK BRAND RUNS THE ESSEX CHAPTER OF THE LURE ANGLING SOCIETY, IS A FULLY QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL ANGLERS ASSOC SPORTS FISHING COACH AND IS FAMED FOR CATCHING A SEA-TROUT ON THE THAMES WITH A LURE! MARK IS CERTAINLY AN AUTHOURITY ON EVERYTHING LURES AND HAS GIVEN TALKS ON THIS SUBJECT BEFORE.

WAYNE FLETCHER WILL BE DEBUTING HIS TALK, YET ANOTHER COUP FOR ESSEX PAC. WAYNE MAKES HANDMADE LURES FOR HIMSELF AND FRIENDS, JERKBAITS AND TOPWATER LURES, IS AN ACCOMPLISHED LURE ANGLER AND IS A SOVEREIGN SUPERBAITS CONSULTANT WHO HAS FISHED WITH THE FAMOUS EUROPEAN LURE CHAMPION AND FOX MANAGER FOR EUROPE, DIETMAR ISAIASCH. OH, AND HE'S CAUGHT A 27LB CARP ON A JERKBAIT!
WAYNE WILL BE GIVING AN AMAZING DEMO, SHOWING US HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE A LURE FROM SCRATCH!
You can see Mark, Wayne and the Essex PAC lads on Wed 13th April at the Nags Head pub, Ramsden Heath, near Billericay, Essex CM11 1HS at 7.30pm. We will be aiming to do a bbq (weather permitting!) and will be out in the marquee at the rear of the pub, for the first time. Remember, you don't have to be a PAC member to attend, though we actively encourage people to join the only voice for pike angling! Entry is £4 PAC members, £5 non-members and the food is included on the night. Hope to see you all, come and give your support!

Wow, another great night out in Essex !

2011-03-10T12:31:00.000-08:00

Essex Pac Region 102 would like to give a big thankyou to Nick Peat for giving us his first live talk to any region, a real eye-opener in so many ways! Nick's recollections of how he managed to get on certain waters in the past were a joy to behold! And those personal photos of his catches...awesome! Nick's talk ran us through the River Wye, Thurne and Chew reservoir to name a few and there's no doubting it, he has a very uncanny way of turning up and catching big pike using the bankside and deadbaits.

Yet another whopper of a turn-out at the Nags Head, the Essex PAC organisers are extremely pleased to see our county's pikers (plus a few from further afield may i add) turning up to give our speakers the support they deserve. Y'know, you have to remember these guys are just anglers and certainly not performers or public speakers. Yet they get up and give what is basically a live show, often with a 3hr set! Respect to them i say. The Essex region is getting quite a good name for ourselves i've been hearing. Well, we can't do it without the punters! So please please keep up the good work Essex and come on over once a month, you're always guaranteed great speakers and proper grub!

Crazy lure night..Wed April 13th

2011-03-04T12:45:00.000-08:00

It's the ESSEX PAC's last night of the season! So we thought how fitting to end it with a talk from a couple of the region's finest lure lads, Mark Brand and Wayne Fletcher. Mark runs the Essex chapter of the Lure Angling Society whilst Wayne enjoys the fine art of making lures. Both are top lure anglers themselves and they will give an insight into this specialist world, whilst showing us how easy it is to make a wooden lure from scratch! More details of this cracking evening up on the blog after Nick's talk.

Nick Peat pre-event

2011-02-10T10:16:00.000-08:00

Wed 9th March sees NICK PEAT give his first ever talkshow anywhere.
An honour for us to welcome him to Essex, a real coup for the region to boot. One of piking's real characters. The reason for waiting to announce his name was because Nick was at the time on 299 captures of 20lb plus pike. Well, you guessed it, at time of writing Nick has plundered the magic 300 now! Congrats to Nick for that. Coupled with ten x 30lb plus pike, you'll see that Nick has landed some awesome fish!
Nick fishes a wealth of different waters, mainly enjoying the rivers of England, often travelling some distances to achieve his goals.
Interestingly though, he catches nearly all the time on the bank, using deadbaits.

Guaranteed to be a corking talk, with a few piking "faces" attending, Nick is promising a revealing night out in his company. Should be a roadblock!
You can see Nick Peat and all the Essex PAC Region's crew at the Nag's Head pub, Ramsden Heath, Billericay, Essex cm11 1hs on Wed 9th March at 7.30pm.
Entry is £5 for non PACGB members and £4 for those who have affiliated themselves to the PAC OF GB. Grub is included, raffle on the night.
ALL WELCOME, PAC MEMBERS OR NOT. All Nick's memorable catches shown on the big projected screen, Nick will be using a microphone, .....and he intends to take the place by storm!

Sean and Ray look forward to meeting you all on the door!

Neville Fickling takes Essex by storm!

2011-02-10T10:07:00.000-08:00

Essex PAC would like to thank Neville for bringing his talkshow to us last night. A good attendance recieved Neville well and those big pike photos on the screen is an inspiration to us all!
Nev's wharts and all talk, gave us revelations and ideas to put into our own style of fishing perhaps.
His question and answer session went down a treat, plenty of banter being banded about indeed.

Derrick Amies rocks Essex PAC !

2011-01-13T10:22:00.000-08:00

What a corker! The Region's best attended evening to date, saw Derrick Amies bedazzle the piking plastic gangsters of Essex PAC 102 with his unmistakeable approach and views on catching BIG pike on the Broads of Norfolk.
Who will forget the sight of Derrick holding up those oversize dumbell floats? (great for the poorly sighted!)
Epic evening, iconic guest speaker!
The Essex PAC RA would like to thank Derrick Amies for travelling down from near Gt Yarmouth to enthrall us all, in what will go down as a night to remember.

ESSEX PAC PRESENTS..DERRICK AMIES WED JAN 12TH 7.30PM

2010-12-29T08:41:00.000-08:00

Have a happy Xmas all you pikers ! A word from your leader...

2010-12-20T11:03:00.001-08:00

ESSEX PAC REGION 102 wishes all our pikers in the region a very merry Xmas and a happy new year. I'll be having a tipple on Xmas day, reflecting back on the last few months and how exciting it's all been, starting up a new region. Thanks to everyone who has lent their support and to all those who have attended our speaker evenings and our first fishmeet. 2011 holds fantastic and exciting times ahead, not least with the guest speakers lined up for Jan, Feb and March. We have been reaching out now with our posters hitting the tackle shops each month, spreading the word. Last month, a dozen tackle shops were displaying our posters advertising the meetings, from Chelmsford, Stanford-le Hope, Canvey, Benfleet, Brentwood, Basildon and Billericay to name a few.
We have had all sorts of new faces at the meetings each month, it's been fantastic getting the Essex pikers together in one venue, it's great to see them all chatting between themselves. Long may that continue.
2011 will herald big things for the Essex PAC, we will be working twice as hard at getting the word out there.
Thanks guys for your support.

Sean Ellis, RO, ESSEX PAC 102.

Steve Younger wows ESSEX PAC

2010-12-16T12:15:00.000-08:00

The Essex region of the PACGB would like to thank Steve Younger for his excellent talk last night and for stepping in at such late notice. His talk consisted of many fish caught around the world, from Aligator Gar to Tope Steve gave us an insight into his world of a real-life showing of River Monsters !
After recent talks in Essex consisting of piking the Broads and the Fens, Steve's presentation really was a bit "different" and he injected his style of humour to get the boys roaring in the aisles!

If you weren't there and was wondering if you missed out, trust me...you did!

Essex PAC Region 102...great speakers once a month guaranteed!

the incredible Steve Younger

2010-12-04T13:04:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, Neville Fickling has had to cancel this date in December, but has already rescheduled for Feb 9th 2011.
Meanwhile, Steve Younger who wowed the crowds at last month's Thames Gateway region meeting, has kindly agreed to pay Essex a visit on Wed December 15th instead.
It seems Steve loves catching all sorts of huge fish from all sorts of locations and i'm told will have us all in stitches too with some of his tales!
Be there by 7.30pm, all the grub you can eat included, £4 P.A.C. members and £5 non-PAC boys. The Nags Head pub in Ramsden Heath, Billericay, Essex CM11 1HS.
Everybody welcome, pikers or not !!

Coming to Essex PAC soon....

2010-11-29T20:21:00.000-08:00

Derrick Amies 12th Jan, Neville Fickling 9th Feb (rearranged), Nick Peat 9th Mar

Another stonking night for Essex PAC!

2010-11-14T09:32:00.000-08:00

The Essex PAC 102 Region would like to thank Denis Moules and Mark Barrett for giving us their cracking talk on Fenland pike at the Nags Head pub. Despite some awful traffic on the M25 that delayed proceedings for a while and must have frustrated the hell out of Mark, the evening went ahead eventually and all was good with the world! If any other region get the chance to have these two, do so!
Essex PAC 102 also made a special presentation to Darren Couchman from Cancer Research UK during the evening, left to right in the photo is Kevin O'Keefe, Sean Ellis and Darren Couchman. Darren actually informed us we hadn't taken gift aid into account, so that cheque needs to be made out again for £4000 !

Hot off the press, the Region's latest news and whispers...

2010-10-29T15:37:00.001-07:00

Hi, after our fantastic evening with John Goble and Tony Myhill, we have our fantastic charity raffle and online auction (Pike and Predator forum) monies rolling in for Cancer Research UK. At present we are well on our way to £3000 and are confident of reaching somewhere near £3500 in total. A marvellous effort indeed, we have one of our region's members, Kevin O'Keefe, to thank for putting in a lot of hard work in running the amazing online auction. Well done Kevin! On Wed 10th Nov at the Nags Head pub, for the Mark Barrett and Denis Moules talk, we have Darren Crouchman from Cancer Research UK coming down and paying us a visit, in order for us to present the cheque to his charity. We'll be in touch with the local 'papers for that one! So, all in all, another special evening.

We are currently in talks with another massive name in the world of pike fishing, to come and give us a talk and we hope to announce this soon. Can't say who it is yet, they don't come much bigger but we are keeping everything crossed and are hoping for either a Dec 1st slot or early 2011. Keep watching this blog!

Don't forget our first fishmeet! Nov 6th, £5 for two rods, we'll be piking from 7.30am to 4pm. Ideal for us to have a get together, ideal for beginners to the sport, a real chance to get the Essex PAC out on the banks and get meeting people! Email me for the venue now....shrimphead2@mobileemail.vodafone.net. A day ticket water in Essex reknown for it's piking!

Lastly, we are currently trying to sort out some wonderful Essex PAC 102 RA car stickers! Oh yes, we are really gonna get the word out with these and when it's sorted you'll be able to buy them at our meets.

John Goble talk ...smashing night

2010-10-17T13:14:00.001-07:00

John Goble, captor of Britain's biggest ever river pike, came into Essex for a blockbuster of an evening. Giving his first ever talk to any PAC region, his mix of short stories, humour added with a hint of indescribable, enormous pike images. The evening, by way of feedback, was extremely well recieved and John battled the nerves to put on a great show. For the shorter second half after the food and charity raffle, Tony Myhill, John's acquaintance, described some very peculiar lures and his good times over the years with the late, lure guide Charlie Bettell. For an insight into the great Charlie, here's some stonking footage of him in the boat with Gryff Rhys Jones,just click here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNTMyXWwWZE
The Essex PAC Region 102 would like to thank John Goble and Tony Myhill for taking their brave pills and giving us an insight into their world of pike fishing!
At the top of this post is a photo never seen before....
Bill Palmer and John Goble ! What a night!

Essex PAC in the Angling Times :-)

2010-10-10T09:46:00.000-07:00

Hey, did you see us in last week's top fishing paper? Our Cancer Research charity night went Goble-global !!
Another coup for the Essex boys !!

Newsflash !!!!

2010-09-14T14:13:00.000-07:00

Ex - UK record holder Neville Fickling has agreed to give Essex a talk, he's coming to us on Wed 9th February, having been re-arranged from his previous Dec slot.
We're looking forward to it already!

Our first evening, up and running!!!!

2010-09-11T16:56:00.000-07:00

The Dave Horton show, (that's him on the right) what a cracker! By all accounts, a decent turn-out for the 102 club's first ever meet. I'd like to sincerely thank those who turned up, seems this region of ours has some formidable pikers within !

Special thanks to Dave Horton, one of our members and he donated his talk to the region free of charge. Quite fitting to have the great man talk about his many experiences in and around some of the Essex waters besides the rest of the UK, a legend in more ways than one ! If watching his talk doesn't give you the inspiration to go out and catch big pike, nothing will.

In helping the region reach it's first talk i'd like to give my right-hand man Ray Pemberton a big thankyou, he never stopped working through the summer to set our opening night off with a bang, he done everything he was asked and then some. I think our members can be proud to have Ray pulling the strings. Think i'll start calling him Mr Fixit ! Also to Andy Syddell, who set up this blog in the summer when i really needed help ! Top man.

With John Goble and Tony Myhill as our next guest speakers on Wed Oct 13th (see below) please be aware we are raising money on behalf of Cancer Research in honour of the late, great Charlie Bettell and the talk will be in part in rememberance of Charlie. I ask of you all to contribute to the raffle on the night, organised by Kevin o'Keefe. Half the entry fees and all of the raffle will be donated to Cancer Research UK. Don't forget everybody, you don't have to be a PAC member to attend our meetings/ talks, so how about you bring a friend? Also, we are in talks with Eddie Turner concerning his tackle stand at this talk, so keep an eye out for confirmation.

Don't forget on our evening meets to take a raffle ticket when you pay the entrance fee, this entitles you to free food from the bar when served at half-time interval. We should have all the big screen tv's working by the next talk, along with the microphone nobody should miss out on any part of the talk then !
