Not especially a guide for beginners, one of the better books on pike angling. The publisher decided to put the phrase 'beginner's guide' in the title, against the author's wishes, as they thought it would help sales. Chapters include: Location; The weather and its effects on the feeding of pike; Pike feeding patterns; Tackle; The paternostered livebait; Other livebaiting methods; Deadbaiting techniques; Lure fishing; Specialised techniques; Pike conservation; Conclusion.
