So went with Paul to emperor lakes for 24hours, first time fishing it and we blanked. But with it being a sunny sunday we decided to use the afternoon up Pike fishing at the local. First swim casting the lures out didnt produce anything, so we walked along the bank abit, waded out and continued fanning the lures out in the swim, next thing a small tap on the rod tip and fish on. A short fight later and a 14lb Pike on the bank.. except.. in the process of putting the fish on the bank i trod onto a short sharp reed and it put a hole right through the sole of my waders.. Not happy at all! as if a reed stem can poke its way through the sole of a boot!!
After continueing fishing I ended up having another Pike around the 5-6lb mark, Then bumped into other friends Rich and Chris who were also Lure fishing. Rich was off the Mark and already had 1 roughly the same size as my latter fish, but while fishing with them Rich managed to get himself a few more fish toped with a 8lb 13oz?? pike, well done mate! To cut a long story short it was a beauty of an evening with not a breath of wind on the lake and the sunset creating an image itself and I ended up loosing a fish not far from the end of the session.
