Xmas Pike


Couple of hours chucking a lure about on Boxing Day - walking off a massive (and fab) Christmas lunch. And a pike! Cracking fight and my old friend, 12lb 2oz (R) - but it's tough going - so very welcome!!


A bit worrying for the pike population; a recapture with so few pike caught. But two other follows (hard to see in the dirty water, may have been more), one smaller, one slightly larger than the pike landed.



Records:
Lure: White Beetle Spin (½ oz)
Height: 1.3 (falling)
Weather: Mild/Misty (8°)

  1. The faithful spinner bait, an excellent lure. I have also done well with red or orange and gold spoons ;o)

    1. My go-to colours are green or black - but the water was dirty and thought they’d see the white one better. They do love a Beetle Spin!
