Spring/summer Pike

[M.a.h 64]

Few pike from last month with the other half , I know a lot only fish winter pike an I do myself but I do love the the aggression an takes of a spring pike , just thought I'd share a few pics , all caught on lure ,

That looks a great way to fish mate

Spot on fancy a go at that myself

[M.a.h 64]

It is jeppi26 the float tube opens up so many areas for fishing , there's lads fishing the banks all day an don't catch sod all but on the tube I get to the reeds an deep spots were they can't get , I'm hitting 4+ fish on a bad day an had 11 on one of my goo days but [BANNED TEXT] I say days its rarely more than 2 hours fishing , u can catch with the fly rod on them to its no hardship ??

What happens when you have a 20+ pike on ,lol but that looks handy piece of kit ,and less bulky than having a kayak lying around.

You are living the dream there mate.and as jeppi said looks like a good way to fish.ive never seen 1 of them tubes in the flesh so to speak.it does look very relaxing though.

How tough are they.is there much chance of a treble piercing it.

Haha it the same as having any other size fish on I think myself as longs u know what ur doing it's easy enough no matter what size an some of the smaller pike 6-8lb are worse than the bigger pike , an it's a hell of a lot easier than a kayak as u can move around and fish with them cause u have to ware flippers with them so ur hands are free to fish all the time unlike kayaks always drifting unless u anchor but then it's a pain in the arse , there's always chance of a treble going through dean but again tats down to u an how careful u are but if it did it wouldn't be a problem as there are 4 separate bladders in them an easy to repair , touch wood I haven't had a problem yet haha and iv put some serious hours in on it an best part is they don't break the bank I think I payed just short of £100 for it off eBay an it pack into a small bag I think it's only about 8kilo , the French pull some serious fish in on them , catfish, pike ect , u want to get urself one dean u won't look back mate

They do look like great fun mate I wouldn't mind 1 in the future.

But the 4 bladders in it sounds safe enough my luck the pike would throw the treble lol

Great pics and some great info mate and I'd love to get into those more p***y places but I'm very wary of wearing em out in the warmer months.

Maybe I'm just jealous! Lol

There's nothing wrong with piking all year round, great respect for this species as they're a fav of mine too

[M.a.h 64]

Your welcome down anytime all-terrain u can borrow the misses tube as longs u got ur own waders ?? , you would be surprised how many dont like it that pike are fished any other time than winter lenmcharristar but there my favourite fresh water species to , as long as u don't dead bait cause they will swallow quick an hook deep then I don't see a problem ,
