Cancelled trip

Was going onto the river today but stormy weather meant I did something
else instead. Hope to get out Tues.

Mast update

mast has been cut and spigot joint has been made. Got some green spray paint and hope to get that done next week. Just been printing out some repeater lists and stuff so I can update the memories on my 706 in the car.

Another Pike!

Yep, another Pike, this time we weighed it, about 12lb so not a monster
but not bad. It was on half mackrel fished with extra oil on a 3 swan
shot rig.

First Woking Pit Pike!!

Today I got my first Pike from the lakes at Woking, it was Langmans and
that fish also christened my Nash 3 1/2 lb Pike rods. I did'nt weigh the
fish as it was only a low double and she was very lively on the bank. It
was taken on Herring tail on a float ledger setup. I missed a take
earlier that day and caught this fish from the very same spot so I think
it was the same fish. Unhooking it was'nt much fun with one treble hook
in the net and the other in the corner of its mouth lined with rows of
razer sharp teeth. In end it put the last treble in the net so I sniped
the trace and then put the fish back no prob.
