Trip No 10 Pike Fishing (2016)


I am back out on the lake (again), as the river is still too high for me to get anywhere good for Pike fishing.

image

However, I am quite enjoying fishing the lake and I may stick it out here until the middle of February.

image

Two Robins sat on my rod’s, I just love his time of year, as the wildlife is so friendly or brave (hungry).

Both rod’s are being fished at range near a bar.  I am hoping the fish are held up for the Winter as the cold weather has finally arrived.

Godman Angling solu-ties are a perfect way to stop the lead from flying up the line.  I like to have as little resistance as possible and on the big casts the lead will always fly up the line.  I don’t like using heavy leads and these things solve this problem perfectly.

image

Just fed my Robin for the day.

With no signs of Pike after two hours, I moved out onto the end of the point.

image

We will see what happens here, to my left there is a lovely deep margin and a small plateau out in front of me.  Both perfect spots for bait fish to be.

Unfortunately, no Pike again today.

Will try another area of the lake on my next trip out, just need to track the bait fish down.

Until next time
Richard

Trip 8 & 9 Pike Fishing (2016)


I have combined these two trip as I have gone away for the weekend to fish a large reservoir for Pike with one of my friends.

image

image

We were out on a boat for two days with a couple of rod’s each and had 21 pike up to 19-4. Also had a great deal of fun, drifting baits and float fish after the Pike.

Perfect conditions, no photos of the fish, just a video.

Until next time

Trip No 7 Pike Fishing (2016)


I am out on the lakes again.  As predicted the river is still completely unfishable and will be for some time.

image

I am going to give the snaggy bay area a go today, with a spot of roving around after these Pike.

image

This area is just full of options and must contain some nice Pike.

After an hour, I was off to a new area.

image

And positioned the baits again near to the snags.

image

This is going to be my final swim of the day and let’s hope the Pike are here.

Unfortunately another blank today, oh well.

Till next time
Richard

Trip No 6 Pike Fishing (2015)


image

With yet more rain last night, the river has risen again and is still well and truly unfishable.  So I have decided to go on the lake.  I am in one of the small bay areas.  This gives me plenty of options to catch some Pike today.

image

A friendly Robin was around to help.

Both rod’s have dead baits on , one ledgered and one on the float as normal.

However, today was not to be.  No joy.

Trip No 5 Pike Fishing (2016)


With all the rain we had yesterday and last night, the river is well in flood.  So I have gone on the lake this afternoon and evening.

image

I am going to try a few spots around the lake today.  I have one rod set up for ledgering and the other rod on a float and we will see what we pick up.  Other than me, I have never seen anyone Pike fishing on here.  I have had a 17lb + Pike some years ago and there is a good head of silver fish,  so there is Pike in here with a good chance of a large one.

My first Pike was a 10 lb one on the ledger rod with a sardine on.

My second Pike was about half this size, this did go to prove that the Pike are breeding and there is a good chance of a big fat Pike out there somewhere.

This time, I recast further down the margin shelf, in the hope that the big fish may just be sitting there.

image

With the light going, it was time to start packing away.  I tend to stay 30/45 minutes after dark (just in case).

Dispite the sizes of the Pike, I was very happy as this had proved there were breeding fish with the probability of a large fish

Until next time
Richard
