t Two Norfolk anglers will be topping the bill at this year's Pike Anglers Club Convention.
Jason Davis and John Watson have both been confirmed on the line-up for Piking 2007, which is being held at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire on September 22.
Insiders say Davis is tipped to be revealing some incredible catches which will require the history books to be re-written, while Watson will be talking about his experiences as a guide and angler on the Broads. More information on the event at www.pacgb.com
