Welcome to Lincoln P.A.C.'s (R.A.48) Blogspot.We are the 1st P.A.C. region to try this out and I hope that it is successful in letting everyone from our region and beyond know just what is going regarding meetings and more.

Each and every one of us has a real passion for pike and piking in all it's forms, some pikers chase our chosen quarry the length and breadth of the country, others are content in fishing locally on a few selected venues; whichever category you have chosen I would hope that you can find something of value from our region,be it from our Winter Speaker season or from our local members or the PAC nationally.
Piking is often all about solitude and the piker pitting his wits against our water's apex predator but even if your piking is conducted that way to meet with like minded individuals once a month can be fantastic way to broaden your outlook and pick up the odd trick here and there and that can only enhance everyone's piking and the enjoyment our sport brings.
Lincoln PAC meet from Sept.-April on the 1st Monday of the month at the Stag's Head in Newport Lincoln (see section 6.).We encourage everyone to arrive early, especially new faces, nice to chat before the speaker is on at 20:00. All welcome from 19:00.

PAC membership encouraged but not a prerequisite, we are here to talk pike and generally be social.

All abilities of piker are welcome, those just starting or thinking of piking especially welcome as we will point you in the right direction, help and assist you.

We welcome anyone with an interest in pike, even zandermen can come!

Phil has caught some very sizable pike and preds but is perhaps better known for his barbeling and other species. He writes for Coarse Angling Today and is the author of several books including his latest " Targets set and Acheived". Phil will be presenting "Alien Invaders" looking at Zander Catfish and Sturgeon, their introduction, how attitudes have changed from then to now and the species future.
Our Chub and barbel boys are always in with a chance to take him off at a tangent though!
Phil should have his new book available on the night. He has a very nice blog at http://barbelblogger.blogspot.com/

March 5th-DAN WILLIAMS

Dan is a mere whip of a lads compared to most pikers, he found a passion for piking young and has stuck with it acheiving many milestones in piking already. His talk will concentrate on just how he has approached his piking targets and the acheivements he has reached.
I wanted to book Dan last season but he was stuck in Oxfordshire, he has now moved closer, Brough to be exact working for those lovely people at Pike &Preds plus some other carpy mags, he will have some of their books available on the night.

April 2nd-MARK ACKERLEY

We have managed to drag Mark from his self imposed exile in Scotland to Present his talk "A Piking Life" which considering the amount Mark has caught will be a packed talk. covering everything from his fishing in the Western Loughs to the present day .

The last of our speaker season so there are bound to be a raffle or something of a bonus on the night.
