Spinning at ponds and canals is really fun highly recommend that you try it out some time and pike and perch are really good sport and trout on spinners is great . Also try out topwater lures for pike e.g. Frogs, floaters and poppers . These lures work and are really fun for beginners to the sport. In the summer months lures are in full swing and pike and perch are really bitting .Also in winter big pike love dead-baits and I often get surprised by their size so I highly recommend it and you won't regret it
