2024 CSSC Pike Angling Championship

The 2024 CSSC National Pike Angling Championship match took place on Thursday 7th November 2024 at Patshull Park Fishery, Pattingham, Wolverhampton.

On the day, because of some late withdrawals, only 11 anglers turned up to compete in the “CSSC Individual Pike Angling Championship” and the “CSSC Pike Angling Pairs Championship”, with the match being fished from 9.30am to 4.00pm. Get well soon lads and hope to see you back on the bank next year.

Expectations were high as the anglers arrived early at the fishery, having found out that the people that fished the venue the day before had caught several fish, including two double figure pike.

For a change, the weather was kind to us this year with reasonably warm temperatures and only a light misty rain to deal with,

The results of the 2024 CSSC Individual Pike Angling Championship were:-

1st Jim North 1 fish for 8lbs 1oz

2nd Jerry Bolus 2 fish for 7lbs 12ozs

3rd Chris Neden 1 fish for 7lbs 4ozs

4th Dave Gardner 1 fish for 6lbs 10ozs
      Nick Pinder 1 fish for 6lbs 10ozs
5th Chris Bull 1 fish for 4lbs 5ozs
6th Iain Rickerby 1 fish 2lbs 15ozs ??

The results of the 2024 CSSC Pike Angling Team Pairs Championship were:-

1st Chris Neden and Dave Gardner 2 fish for 13lbs 14ozs

2nd Jim North and Chris Bull 2 fish for 12lbs 6ozs

3rd Jerry Bolus and Robin Bartsch 1 fish for 7lbs 12ozs

4th Iain Rickerby and Nick Pinder 2 fish for 6lbs 10ozs

I would like to thank Katie Potts and Kirsten Ball from the CSSC Event Organising Team and the CSSC Angling Council for their help and support in organising this competition and supplying the trophy’s.

I would especially like to thank Jim North for taking photographs of the trophy’s being awarded to the winning competitors, Richard the bailiff at the fishery for his help with the pegging and the draw and finally, Chris Neden for his help with checking the results and picking the pegs that were used for the match.

Finally I would like to thank all of the anglers that turned up to compete and helped to make this an enjoyable days fishing. Hope to see you all again next year.
