Hi all, had my first double this season at exactly 12lb this morning, this after my uncle had knocked a jack off earlier on, shit with the net, (netted the double myself). Would I be right in thinking with so many jacks about the bigger fish may be elsewhere in the stretch? Or is it just the fact that there is more of them?
Anyway, 3 fish in 3 sessions is good fishing in my book.
What's the general opinion feeding times? The water I'm fishing only seems to produce early morning, have other people found this on there waters? And do I just keep trying afternoons/evenings or do I need to find an afternoons water?
Many thanks and tight lines to all, Leon

I think most people would agree that early morning and late evening are best times to fish. One thing I have notice is

when you have been catching a lot on jacks It go's quiet just before something bigger turns up.

Going to try my luck tomorrow.

If you catch a small jack,put it out😉

leondodd Thu Oct 06, 2016 12:43 pm

Ha ha, I like it. It wasn't that small, about 5lb!
Big livebaits them!!!

We were out again today , full 12 hour session. I'm not usually competitive when piking with my mates but the odd one or 2 of them make it so it's exactly that. Anyway I was 3 nil down before you could say " sunken float paternoster" 😀 . 4 of us , Deano had the 3 fish at that stage, around 6, 7 and 8 pounders . I then retaliated with a massive 2 pounder😀 Before going 4-1 and then 5-1 down. To a brace of scraper doubles. But then I turned it on with a 12ib 12oz beauty and a little 6 pounder . Making it 5-3 with Fishfork and the legend that is uncle Tony blanking. Then at 6.30 this evening the alarm screamed off and 77 year old Uncle Tony had a 15-4 to wipe the smiles off our faces. He old manned us, yet again. 9 fish on the river today a few missed runs aswell. Good day. 👍 By the way , well done Leon mate, your into em 👍

Is that 15-4 a typo mate, shouldnt it be 28-02 Very Happy

cracking social that mate

It would be nice Shaun.......one thing I did notice though, that place over the years was predominantly a doubles water. I would say perhaps 9 fish out of 10 were doubles once upon a time. Only a third of them yesterday made double figures. Hope we haven't lost a few bigger fish there, however it was still good sport and some lovely looking fish.

psion Fri Oct 07, 2016 6:46 pm

My first blank of the season. It would be to much to ask for it to be my last.

the bat Sat Oct 08, 2016 3:22 pm

Off to another trout water tomorrow,fingers crossed😊

Idlepiker Sun Oct 09, 2016 7:18 pm

Had my first pike trip on Friday, caught a couple of jacks, a 10-4 and a 12-7.
Had them all before 12:00, all from same area, maybe should have moved peg for the afternoon but the weather wasn't very good so stayed put, only had one take in the afternoon and lost it.
Not a bad start, can't wait for next trip.
Well done everyone who has been out and caught, let's hope we all get a big girl or two between now and end of march.

Tight lines everyone.

stubbo Sun Oct 09, 2016 9:14 pm

well done to all who have been out ,I have not started yet , but hope to be sorting out a new venue if I get permission
there is rumours of a very big fish in the venue over the thirty pound mark.

psion Mon Oct 10, 2016 1:17 pm

Hi bat how did the new trout water go.

the bat Mon Oct 10, 2016 9:59 pm

Unfortunately my mate cried off sat night so didn't go,but I will do soon😉

psion Mon Oct 10, 2016 10:28 pm

A pleasure deferred. We are out tomorrow.

piketastic Tue Oct 11, 2016 8:57 pm

Met up with Gary MBA , again over the weekend, always a pleasure🎣👍, we did Saturday afternoon and overnight into Sunday on a PAC syndicate water. I struggled through with a bite less session and Gary kindly showed me how it's done with 3 fish. Fish were striking all around us feeding on the tiny fry that were in abundance. They even were striking where our lines entered the water and on and around our floats. Twice I saw pike cough up tiny roach that managed to escape when the pike grabbed a mouthful of them, but when I tried wobbling a bait over them they didn't want to know. I will learn from it though and will have a plan of action for next time 👍😀. Thanks for the lesson my mate !!!!!

MAD BAD ANGLER Wed Oct 12, 2016 12:17 am

enjoyed it bud, even if i did get wet through packing up lol
Sad

psion Wed Oct 12, 2016 12:43 pm

We got wet yesterday to. We had 3 pike biggest 10.5 lost another 3 had them on but got off. One of the pike had another

trace in it so she went back happier.

piketastic Wed Oct 12, 2016 7:18 pm

Well done Psion, it's always mixed emotions when I get them with an old trace still attached , it sickens me to see it but then it's a great feeling when you get them out. It makes my day. I took FIVE out of one pike last season.

psion Wed Oct 12, 2016 8:13 pm

It can happen to anyone I know but some of the traces I see are really bad. Maybe we should have a rogue's gallery of

Pictures on here.
