Saturday saw Mike, Nick and myself roaming the canals and basins of city centre Manchester in search of pike. Mike did the business for the team, catching a nice little jack, whilst Nick and myself plugged our way through the murky water, observing a variety of detritus that I will not elaborate on. My best catch of the day was a Dunlop golf umbrella that gave an excellent account of itself, whilst Nick bagged up, quite literally, catching a variety of plastic bags, all of which were beautifully conditioned.
