I spent
today roaming around a Syndicate venue that I first
joined back at the start of the season. This was my
first session on this water to check out its Pike
potential. I soon discovered that it did at least
contain Pike. After the first couple of hours I had
soon landed six small jacks to 8lb from the first
spot. This area soon dried up, and at the same time
I guessed that with all the activity from the Jacks,
the bigger girls were likely to be hanging a bit
further along the pit. With this i soon moved
further down and began the process of all over
again.
By
around midday I had covered around half the pit, but
unfortunately no more Pike had graced the banks. All
my fish during the morning rush had fallen to
Mackerel and Lamprey, so I had been sticking to
these baits on both my rods. However, a change over
to turbo smelts soon created more action and even
though none of the fish were anything over 9lb or
so, I finished the day with 11 Pike.
The
results were promising, as at least I know that
there are defiantly Pike in the water; unfortunately
it will take a few more sessions to work out if
there are any of a decent size, but I'll keep
trying! |
