I got back into Pike fishing last year after a 40 year break mate...I'll tell you a funny story when we next meetOriginally Posted by Grayling
If you are a Mitchell fan also then yes mate, kindred spirits or what.
...All my kit was off the bay, a nice 300 with 3 spools in a bag for £15 odd quid, and a cracking (unused looking) Lee of Redditch 9'6" fibreglass spinner with safety twist ferrule, all agate rings and champagne anodizing for not much more...I use old re-hooked snapdragon plugs and vintage spoons and Colorados, and last time out got some sniggers from the multi-rod carbon youngsters...as I did in the shop when I asked what the hell a "jerkbait" was
I caught an 8 pound Pike in front of them, and you should have seen their faces
It's a bit like shooting old guns, or maybe I am just awkward (or believe that fish don't worry if you have spent a grand on tackle as long as you stick something in front of them that looks edible).
Sorry to wander off topic........most unlike me!
ATB, Ed
