matt101 115 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Me and my dad went fishing today in bath, we tried two locations. The first was the weir pool in batheaston which we were told was a good spot for pike. Unfortunately nothing happened so we moved to a place 5 minutes away called newbridge, its meant to hold some very good size pike so we thought we'd give it a go and it payed off. my dad caught this on a trotted roach deadbait I also hooked a pike which was slightly smaller but it managed to unhook itself , i hooked it on lamprey when i got caught up in a tree and the bait was still in the water. we tried a few different baits including roach, herring and lamprey. cheers matt Quote Link to post

matt101 115 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 no i didn't weight it , we haven't got any scales at the moment but i am planning on getting some very soon. im guessing that the pike weighed in at about 14 pound. matt Quote Link to post
