haha just read this entire post, cracked me up! good stuff mackem and joe, those pike sure are getting crafty these days, using trout disguise...!
reminds me of an expereince me and a mate had good few years ago now... something very simialr to you two, trout lake, big 'un up in east riding of yorkshire... there both using sweetcorn, bringing the fish in a treat when we hears a cough from behind us somewhere, really deep cough, the kinda cough a right big b*****d of a bailiff would have...so we lie low, breathing as quiet as we can like...not moving a bit....we wait, and wait....no more sound
