mudd dog 128 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 hi lads, i havn't been out pike fishing in months, been busy with the dogs. the hunting seasons over for me. until next year. so i booked a day off work and with two off my mates thebigmc included we hit my favourite lake to see how it was fishing. started off at 6.30 am and were set up with various techniques hoping to land a 20+ fish that we know the lake holds. after around an hour gone thebigmc's bait alarm was squeeling. unfortunately he missed it, ah well. after a while my rod with a popped up roach went and i landed a small but decent jack weighing in at 4lb 8oz. then came the bad weather. gale force winds and heavy rain we were getting battered. luckilly we had a tent and a good umbrellla. lol. so we sat tight and had a barbecue while waiting for another take. mid afternoon my second of 3 rods went. this time on a static roach deadbait. landed in at slightly over 8lbs nice healthy fish. we only had an hour of light left and the weather wasn't getting any better. then my mates rod took off and he landed it well. turned out to be a very long and lean fish weighing in at 9lbs 9oz. sat untill dark tough that was all for the day so we packed up and hit the comfort off a warm van ha ha. so it could have been better though we had a good days crack. thanks for reading, hope you's enjoy the pics.................MUDD DOG.........
