A couple of pike sessions

Over the last 2 weeks I've had a couple of pike session's
on the pond. I've was trying coloured baits for the first
time which I was looking forward to using.



I decided to use one natural bait and one coloured to see
if one got more interest that the other





Sadly nether of the deadbaits where touched so I put a plug
on for the last hour to see if the pike fancied something moving
but again nothing.



Last Friday after work I was back on the pond with more
coloured and natural deadbaits.











Over the 2 session's i tried everything natural , coloured , small , big baits
with added oils and even a plug but the pike wasn't having anything
   this must be the longest I've gone without catching a pike    
hopefully I'll get my touch back soon.  

Interesting, shame its inconclusive - so far

Great report Stevo can't say you didn't try

Great report and pictures Steve shame you had no luck there probably more interested chasing each other at this time of the year than chasing your bait.

You know yourself Steve food goes out the window when there's a bit of fluff floating about and with fish it can take weeks building nests to attract the females and chasing other fish away very time consuming, food who needs food.

Personally I'd rather have a good dinner

You may have chosen the period just before they get the bit between their teeth to start breeding.
I believe the jacks don't bother much,but the big Ladies start feeding up before they breed.
You've had a few out of there in the past,so probably just the wrong time.
Is that water on the right of the dirt road or the left?
I used to race model power boats on the one to the left.
I dived in it years ago,and there wasn't a weed anywhere.The bottom was like talcum powder.It changed later,and the weed grew like mad.
I've fished off the concrete pipe between the reservoirs,some big Perch down deep.
Good luck on your next outing

Last time I fished the Bull's head water,the MCTD club had it.(the busses)
There's some big cats in the bottom reservoir I believe.
