Six days fishing from Feb 14th.

Day three, it rained with a passion last night in Lincolnshire, our river venue was not good, so me and Sithee went to our stillwater venue which was frozen yesterday, it was a slow old day, but the weather was good, i was looking forward to fishing this lake as it was here i caught my first Pike all 12 lbs of her 5 years ago We were fishing at 8.00 am and it was wonderfull, fish topping, Sithee had a Pike bite his float but nothing else was stirring, then at mid day i had a strong run, it felt like a good fish but spat the hooks out I had another great run but it was not converted then nothing for another 3 hours we were packing our gear away, resigned to reporting a blank on here tonight, I saw my float travell forward and then dive down, i contacted this fish and what a cracker she is all 19lbs 8ozs of her how good an end to the day? Photos posted next Monday, bring on the next venue tomorrow:D

Day 4, we went onto the relief channel, some great Pike spots, but not today, we blanked There were lots of Pikers about today, no one caught, we were perched near a pumping station, there were lots of silver fish topping, but the water was badly coloured, not a single run or knock, still there is always tomorrow Ady P.M me if you can make Friday, i am thinking of another part of the canal not at Thorne.

Day 5, we met up with Tootal this morning, fished a lake i had not been to for a while, first cast, it didnt have time to hit the bottom and a great 18lber , I thought we were in for a busy day but it slowed down, saying that i caught a very good 16 and a half ponder about 10.00 a.m, it was a great day weather wise , i cant believe its the last day tomorrow and we are finishing off on a canal, Ady and Otter are you turning up,? p.m me for venue details. Tootall great to see you again and well done on your Pike at the last knockings, great day and good crack.
