Abit of a late arrival and around just after one Paul and I were pulling the kit out the car ready to wade around with a rucksack and box of lures to hand. It wasnt long before the first pike hit my Rapala Maxrap, after a nice fight a pike around severel pounds was in the net.
A few more casts and the desision was made to move, 15minutes later and the pures were back in action, Paul was the next one to hook into a fish but unfortunatly it came off after a short but intense fight. With No more signs or follow ins we moved again. Off to the opposite bank and on the second cast I had a pike take the lure at the last second just as i was about to pull it out the water, the fight lasted a few seconds and it was off. The fish followed the lure again and on the 3rd cast it nailed it. 2 pike caught and 1 lost.. not bad at all.
After a rain shower we moved again, and instantly had a few takes and just as i was walking up the bank abit a decent fish whacked the lure, solid weight and a much better fish. After a decent fight a chunk was in the net. on the scales she pulled 17lb 14oz minus the net. So a new pb on the lures for me. Cant get much better than that! I had another fish after that one too around 9lb.
I'll leave you with the picture of my new lure caught pb pike of 17lb 14oz.
