| After last week's big pike cole as been on my case to take him to the bullshead so he can try for a big pike himself. We was deadbaiting again with sprats and smelts and on the same peg as last week. After half an hour we had are first pike run on a float fished smelt but it dropped the bait So I cast another smelt to the same spot and waited. After an hour or so my float started to move across the surface then it disappeared FISH ON! It weighed 11lb on the dot Cole was even more chomping at the bit to catch one now. He changed from a sprat which is what I caught last weeks pike on to a smelt and to his credit he caught one That was to be the last fish of the day but we both went home happy as larry but that was short lived because had to go shopping straight after for babycakes. Still a great day out though happy days |

| Triumphed again Steve,nice one.Cole looks more than pleased with himself. Looks like the big girls are beefing up for the breeding season,so it's going to get better. Might be time to try a nice oily bait,sardine or mackerel and catch that 30lb specimen. Sardine are hard to keep on without elastic,but the oil spread is great. Nice one |

Nice one I've been pike since I was 10 and have used sardine's loads for times without catching a single pike so I stick to ones I've done well with over the years in sprats and smelts but do know a few lads who have caught pike on sardines and love using them it's odd |

I noticed a few container type buildings in your pics that weren't there last time I was. How far is it to cart your gear from where you park? As you know,I've got a wonky foot and it does me in walking and carting my gear. Those pegs look pretty comfortable. |
