Nicely done mate 👍 do you use trebles or single hooks? I'm thinking about trying circle hooks on my next session?

Very nice, pike are the fish that put me off lure fishing i just don't want to catch them as they are too soft out the water.

Had 4 more today, biggest 14lb, others of 9 and 10.

Final fish was a 5lb scamp Jack that picked up the smelt on the retrieve

 

I use a single in 4 or 6 up the trace and a treble at the end.

Time to bring back an old thread for the first pike trip of the season.

Started the day with a 12lb pike on a whole ledgered herring.

 

As it wriggled while I unhooked it, the barbless treble caught my middle finger, so snipped the trace to unhook the pike and my finger.

I was telling a Customer who is a nurse about my DIY surgery I performed on my finger to remove a hook, Straight away she said when was the last time I had a booster tetanus jab. I replied 50 odd years ago. She was not amused, and suggested I get one straight away.
