Pike Match report 9 /3/25

The final match of the series was fished by 12 anglers. The weather was sunny and warm We have had some horrible weather conditions in previous matches, from floods, ice and torrential rain.

It was nice to stay dry for a change. We made the draw and settled in to our various swims. There was no quick start and action was slow. The water clarity was good and I felt confident that lures would work on the day but unfortunately it was all very quite!

Eventually I had a take on a large Pike fly with weighted head, the take was on the drop so must have landed on its head. It felt good to have one on the score board at 2lb 5oz it was the first Fish of the day It stayed that way for some time. I decided it was time for some grub and made my way back to the car. I stopped at one more swim on the way back and changed my lure to a small 6" Pike imitation soft bait lure that had previously worked in clear water this time of year. We all know a favourite meal for a Pike is a small bite size Pike. A few casts later I worked it back to the margin and slowly jigged it around. A large fish appeared from under my rod tip and engulfed the Lure! Great to see in clear view. I'm always amazed at the girth of a decent Pike, and a photo never does it justice. But at 21lb on the nose and 107cm in length I wasn’t complaining.

Those sandwiches and coffee sure felt good as I got back to the car, with the adrenalin still racing through my veins! Jason had a 40lb lead going into the last match but now it had just been halved! Could I challenge him for the trophy, a big ask but double!

I still had 4hr till the end of the match so I fished hard to no avail. Jamie had a Pike from is favourite swim at 2lb 6oz and I managed one more at 1lb 8oz! And that was it. The match had come to a end. No big come back and a convincing win for Jason in the end.
