Efforts from the weekend

Well after a feezing wet weekend this what i have to show for my efforts, tough weekend but plenty more to come?

good going otter! great pic! i spent all day sunday in the rain for 1 dropped run!

Pretty well the same as me....

Beautiful pike Otter......well done

A local lake too...

Andy

Yes indeed think that i may have found my waters now, think i will be putting a good few hours in over the winter, thing is the venue record was caught from there last week on a hallibut boilie?????????????

Fascinating... and the lake record is?

29lb 12oz from what i was informed by the bailiff, he was the guy who caught it did a weekend long session. Apparently there have been quite a few 20`s coming out?

well done Otter

Nice fish mate well done

Do you find the bites dry up after about 11am on that water ??

Adie

A nice looking Pike weldone,. I may be wrong but from looking at the picture just a bit of advice would be to get some rear drop offs if you are straight legering and not a float legering
Just to identify drop back bites and avoid a deep hooking situation.

No Andy I just think its a local pond / lake that a few of us fish were the bites seem to dry up around 11am ish

Adie

And there's one local place where it seems that 11 o'clock is pike o'clock

Is this the place....



Got a bit of a bite to it.....

Right then quick update for the weekend, stepped out of the house around 6 struggled all day long, moved venues for which i was also met by a hoard of pike anglers lining the bank (Whom all blanked). And then towards the back end of the day i was met with this little beauty, fought well, and was a tremedous looking yet small fish. Next update tomorrow evening when i try the canal 1 min from my house.

HA HA bradfordlad
I actually meant, the fish seem to feed from 11 (ish).

I'm interested in hearing the report from the canal, otter.
I've never fished it any further than Barnby Dun (any angling not just pike).

FOR MY 18th I WANT ALL YOU LADS TO TAKE ME THERE AND BUY ME CIDER

Been out today for three hours, freezing conditions ran into dave78, nice to meet you mate and blanked. The river looked right and the conditions near perfect but no fish?

Better luck next time mate.

Its been a tad nippy, you deserve a fish for trying in this weather. Mind you, it was a nice sunny afternoon.

Andy

Think I will have a few hours out tomorrow, thing is though slot of places are frozen? Maybe a river I think again

Went in search of fishable water yesterday but couldn't find a stretch that wasn't iced over!!!
...........guess I will just have to spend the day sorting my tackle out, tying flys, and watching other people catch fish on the tele???

This weekends effort!
Blanked apart from a 1lb Perch. Temp was -4 when I left, nice and sunny though and really expected at least a run.....
but nothing!
May try the same venue again on Tuesday.!
