Gid - Catch any pike the other day?

[Dappa D]

good days fishing??

[Frank]

Well what can I say.Its a 2 mile walk to our favorite spot.It is a private spot on a farmers field which is oppersite a large rush lined bay on the local river.We normally get between 10 and 20 in a morning ,up to high twenties.Last week the river rose 18 inches in two hours which made the fishing impossible.
So we bombed out.
Knew we were wasting our time when my mate hooked a dead "cow" that came floating down.

Funny fish.Everyone I catch never weighs as much as it looks

[kwak zzr]

[Frank]

depends if they are river fish or stillwater fish.

im not entirely sure but the still water fish tend to be larger dont they?, as said in a previous thread ive not fished for pike for a fair old while now (about 10 years) but my largest came from a resivoir IIRC.


as my mrs has a the hangover this morning im taking lil man out for a bit, go see his gran, can get some of my pike and carp pics then, post em up later!

[stewie]

Is that darn sarf Gid or back up here ? btw I caught a canada goose once, went for me bait and got a 12 inch waggler wrapped round its wing base, stripped me reel in about 2 secs :rolleyes::D

[Wideboy]

i got a resivoir with pike in it down the road but last time i went there it was full of weeds, forever loosing your gear

[stewie]

Never had a pike on the bank. hooked a couple but failed to land em, me dad was a good pike man, fished with him for 25 yrs till he had a stroke, ended up selling all me gear, wasnt the same anymore :( been thinking of getting some tackle though.

Don't tell him Pike

[Wideboy]

dappa my i ask where the 4th pic is at, looks familiar

[maviczap]

Sorry to divert this thread, although there is some relavance

The crew of a patrol boat were approaching an unfamilar harbour, so they consulted the pilotage guide to check the arrangement of the navigation bouys.

The watch keeper shouted out, white and black bouy ahead, the mate puzzled, said 'Are you sure it's white and black?' There's nothing in the book.

Just then the commander appears on the bridge, takes one look and said 'leave the dead cow to starboard please'

A true story!:p

[Paws]

Treacle goes pike fishing with my dad, they try and out do each other lol
