In search of a beast in the east

2 to 3 weeks ago my brother was telling me how active the pike were on his club waters in the fens, seizing fish off the hooks on their way in during matches and all that.

Plans were made to fish for them with lures this weekend. I changed my braid, bought a couple of extra lures, traces and ordered a larger landing net ready for a whopper

Then the beast from the east arrived, temperatures plummeted, the wind got up and many of the dykes were frozen over

Still you've got to give it a go




The windchill was frankly viscious




Coffee - good idea bro'!





No fish to report but as always a good catch up with Pete

Paul you are mad! You might note of seen a pike but you did see the beast from the east.

Brothers who'd have them
Well done on getting out at least

I'd love to fish the fens for pike and zander hopefully soon
well done for giving it a go
