Trip 8 – Pike Fishing – 2017


For today’s trip, I am meeting up with a friend to spend a few hours on the Hampshire Avon.

We tried a few spots around the area we met up.  We then headed off around to another area.  By the time we had got to the last area, I had banked one and he had lost a mid double.

The last area was a fantastic slow bend, with plenty of options and before long I was in again.

 

With another pike in the net, I was feeling quite happy, just needed to find the larger fish.

The fish was safely returned to its home.

Both fish had fell to mackerel injected with Spotted Fin Salmon Oil.

For a nice bit of additional attraction, which helped to attract these fish.

Small, but still another pike to add to the list.  Unfortunately, my friend was not having any luck today, as he had lost another nice fish.  He was doing a cracking job locating them, however these head shaking monsters were throwing the hooks.  Even though they where size 4s and very sharp, some days you can’t win, despite your best efforts.  A good day was had by all and we will be back for more, cheers Ian for a fab days Pike fishing with some photographs and videoing.

Until next time

Trip 7 – Pike Fishing – 2017


With the cold snap continuing and those lovely Winter’s days  – with frosty starts and clear blue sky’s.  There is no place in would rather be, down the Avon after pike.

My first spot of the day.

My third spot  of the day, after having a Jack instantly from my second swim.

From my last swim I had another Jack Pike. One fish was taken on Herring and the other on Mackerel, with and injection of Spotted Fin salmon Oil.


Until next time

Trip 6 – Pike Fishing – 2017


With that urge to catch a PB Pike, even with the mild weather.  I just had to go on the Hampshire Avon today.

Ah, what a pleasant place to start.

Another lovely area and this one produced my first pike of the day.

Not huge, but a start.

After plenty more perfect looking spots, I just manged the one fish on the bank and a lost fish.

That will do me as a start.

Until next time

Trip 5 Carp Fishing – 2017


I headed back down the lake for my night session by 7 pm and luckily for me, the swim I was after was free.

All set up and feeling very confident, the weather was very mild and there was a nice full moon.  Unfortunately, my efforts were only rewarded with a single bleep and not a whisper over a Carp when I was listening out in the night.

With the weather looking very cold and bleak this week, I think I shall be back after the Pike for my next trip.

Until next time

Trip 4 Carp Fishing – 2017


With the mild weather still here (well for the next 48 hrs at least) and as I believe that Carp are more in touch with nature.  Hopefully, they will pick up on the up and coming cold snap and get their heads down today or tonight, when I shall be back again.

Unfortunately no joy again, I did spot a couple of fishy signs and felt I was in the right place. Fingers crossed, the swim will be free when I get back.

Until next time
