Reckon i,d be booking her in for some photography lessons Stubbo !! Is she better at doing the ironing and washing ??

Took my dad out today after he’s been expressing an interest in having another go at piking recently. Last time he had a go he was a teenager and managed a 4lb jack…time to try and re-ignite that spark from years ago…As he isn’t currently licensed, he agreed just to come along on this session to look at how I rig up, handle the fish on the bank etc
Anyway still being ‘new’ to it I decided to make it a short afternoon session in case he got bored etc….Only out for 4 Hours in the end, but managed 2 fish - 15lb 2oz and 14lb 8oz. The bigger fish was a pug fish I’ve had before from this venue and it’s managed a small weight gain which is good.
Had a great time and I think that he’ll be coming again.
Anyway here’s the pics my dad took of the fish we managed. The fish were caught from exactly the same spot 5 minutes apart…just backs up my theory that the pike on this venue work in teams to corral the bait fish into certain areas. Spooked a third pike out of the far margins whilst playing the second fish, and although we stayed just into dark we didn’t manage a third hook up.

Great day

Well done Rob two nice pike there mate

Fair play, tidy fish there fella.. hope to see some like that tommorow.

Nice pike Rob. Well done.

Thanks lads. More chuffed that my dad seemed to be really enthusiastic about going again as we talked in the car on the way home

Canals yeah but Stainforth and Keadby canal is always either matched up on a sunday or choka block with pikers, either way it's hammered

There's a lock, thats 4 to 5 foot deep and gin clear, been and done nothing, and is doing nothing. Went Sunday, the lock had 9 to 10 pikers, all with 2 rods a piece, only 1 maybe 2 came out all day!

Time to try the local reservoirs, rivers and gravel pits
