good angling pikeman

Super fish pikeman! Was out too today -3 at 6.30am. Fished til 1.30pm. Just the one fish which I hooked but lost it at the bank as I couldnt get it above the ice at the margins. It didint fight like a big fish but I caught sight of the tail and I guess it was 3/4lb. At least it wasnt a blank. Heading out again in the morning. Last chance before the return to work on Monday.

nice pike there bud, cold. it was -12 and a foot of snow up at pitlochry two days ago 120 mile round trip for two dropped runs. and their is still weed around. by the time i got my rod out the water and to hand the weed round the bait was frozen.

WOW THATS SO COLD
YOU DESERVED MORE THAN 2 DROPS FOR THAT ENTHUSIASM

aye but the loch was beautifull. saw at least 10 red deer on the way up the side of the loch. frost round my jacket with my breath, the dug had frost on his wiskers, his tackle was trailing in the snow . he sat on the ice on the loch rather than the snow. then i got my chair out so he sat on my lap. acht it kept a smile on my face .

Got out for 3 hrs this afternoon and caught a little scrapper of about 9-10lb and it nailed my sardine pretty much as soon as it hit the water. Had a couple of dropped takes too so things seem to be starting to look up after a couple of previous blank sessions

Was snowing quite a bit too today

Thanks Ady, but unfortunatly i blanked good fishing Rob, three guys turned up at the river as i was leaving and were pitching bivvies for an overnight stop and my wife thinks i was mad going out for 4 hours.

WEll done Rob & Patch

Nice to see some pike coming out at last

Nice fish lads.
I wish I got one yesterday. Total blankety blank yesterday at the same venue I caught the week before.
Last bit of fishing before I head offshore for a month too
Oh well back to it when I get back to dryland.

I knew I'd struggle to find a venue that wasn't iced over today but thought I'd try anyway.
First stop was my local lake. No luck there as you can see in the photo.



Next I tried Leven Canal but that was frozen too.

My last stop was the River Hull.
I didn't feel very confident in catching here due to the Seal problem and me never fishing it either!
But it was worth a bash as it was to early to go home yet. lol

Well I gave it a few hours but no luck.
Lets hope some ice starts to melt soon. I can't wait to get back to my regular haunts.

looks like a typical scene at the moment nightwatchman, i was out on sunday and mid afternoon the river started freezing over right in front of my eyes !! not been the greatest conditions with the rains then the cold but hopefully soon things will improve soon

Jesus! Rivers freezing!
Must be colder in your neck of the woods mate!

How is it winter is the time for Pike but that's when you can get out and fish!

it got down to -4 by the time we reached the car,and that was at 3.30pm!!............

Cant find anywhere local to me that isnt frozen. The last 3 weeks have driven me and the lad up the wall. Hope this bloody stuff thaws out soon.
