Opted for two methods one on float and one on ledger both with smelt as bait as that's all I had in freezer ;D
Got setup for about 8ish and had my first run about half hour later, was a very small jack but it managed to get off before I landed it.. Shame :(
Recasted and was enjoying the scenery for a bit when my rod screamed off again, jumped straight on it and had a good fight, with the pike stripping a bit of line off!!
In the net she went! Woohoo
Got her out weighed her and a quick photo and back she went, luckily a bloke just come down as I had a run and he was kind enough to take a photo for me.
The pike weight 8lb 08oz, not a monster but I was happy ;)
Stayed a few more hours without any lucky and packed up about 12ish, the bloke in the next peg was getting plenty of dace and some small chublets, but he did managed a clonking bream of 3.11lb, mental note made!!
He also lost a pike..
Really wanted to stay but had to go home cause missus wanted to go get school uniforms for kids
Enjoyed it though :)
