pikey pics:

At differnet times a few of us have been fishing our local lake, and here are a few pictures of the pike that have come out.



the first a picture of the pike DS caught, we think it weighed about 18lbs, but he didn't like the thought of holding it so I took this picture when it was swimming away..

That night was really cold, and we had a hard frost, and a bit of snow/sleet even came down,,it was just the right conditions for that elusive pike.


the next one of a pike tr managed to get on the bank, weldone, I believe it was his first??





cracking fish ..

another of the same pike just before tr picked it up.. the colours were excellent, nice specimen





and mine, after a session spinning, I cannot believe I was brave enough to hold it..........as I'd never held one nor have ever wanted too... this was a great achievement for me, eventhough it was a small critter I was keeping an eye on those teeth!!




can't wait until the next piking session, but we have the summer months to get through first...

Yes AC you are correct,that was my 1st ever Pike.

was a good session tr, and for your first one it was brilliant, nice size.. even tho I can't remember what it was tho...

You will see me catch some proper Pike later in the year AC and I might even catch one or two Carp,when I get down there....lol

Was a nice pike TR, caught in hiddeous conditions, i don't know whether we weighed that one, by the pic he looks 8 or 9 pounds, AC's pikes big bro by the looks.

I'm after its mother next time pl

We didn't weigh it PL but I remember you saying it was around the 25lb mark, sorry, 8lb mark

Well it might be 25lb now with all the food fish thats about mate.

Nicely done on the pikies, I have not caught any for awhile now, but I plan to the next time I go to the missouri river.

hello john, look forward to receiving the pictures of those.... we have to wait for the season to start again, do you??

I spoke to the bailiff at Britford today, and there is a no live bait rule, but spinning and dead baiting are ok ALL year round.

well, thats amazing, I wouldnt like to spin for a pike, just in case it latched onto a carp, but then thats up to the owners.

Not that many carp in the river

sorry mike, just realised where you were talking about, that should make it a bit more interesting to fish, you could have a rod out for the small ones, and a line out for an elusive pike.

Some nice Pike there guys and gals.....I still have to catch my first double yet, not sure I would like to catch one whilst on my own though. So far I only handled single figured ones, not to sure if I would be brave enough to handle a double on my own though

you are far more braver than me tt... Ive caught a 21.5lb one.. but heck couldnt hold it....lol pl had to do the honours

Pike are kittens to hold compared with carp, you just have to make sure you handle them carefully, they are pretty fragile even though they look mean.

kittens with mahoosive gnashers lol

I was told that the big ones are not as jumpy as the jacks...is that true?

A pike i had some time ago, i haven't too many pics of pike as i most often than not fish on my own when it's cold.

how big was that pl?? its a lovely picture

Another from the same lake.

I think it went about 10lb, the second pic she went 19.8lb

still loverly pictures pl
