Had my first pike of the season from a local canal,fish was tiny but glad to see it as it means they are still there and breeding.Heard a lot of horror stories of fish being taken for the table:-(.Also missed a run which felt pretty decent:-(.Will be back down soon for another.

Welldone all.. Some lovely pike there... Hoping to get out Thursday....

Well done you lot, we seem to be finding a few early season fish between us and with the looks of some of them , they will be 20 pounders in February . here's hoping !!!

it was flat calm and bright sunshine where we were .......dont think its good piking weather .. i like overcast with a bit of chop on water

For enjoyment you can't beat floating round on a flat calm lake. When its like that I put on a trolling float and row round

the lake.

funny you should say that there where quite afew boats doing that but they never had a sniff ......think we did well to have the 2 fish never seen any more come out..

Had a couple of hours to spare this afternoon, so I went to the local canal. Got 2 pike, lost 1. The biggest wasn't bad for there canal, about 7-8lb. Had 2 rods out leap frogging. One on a popped up smelt and the other on a float fished sprat on a bob which I twitched every now and then. Caught both on the sprat. Not bad for 2 hrs!

short sessions can be very productive at times pal

We had another good trip to Scotland 15 pike 4 doubles. We were plagued by jack pike missing lots of runs. Still 

Chasing that thirty so will be back.
