Pike League 10/11/24
Jurassic
Round 2
The pressure
was on for all of us to repeat the performance of last month’s match with over thirteen Pike coming
out! But the only pressure was the weather (high pressure) and it
obviously didn’t suit the fishing.
With that
long spell of dry weather, the water clarity was clear, and I thought it would be ideal for lure fishing! “But
hey what do I know.” It started well for me with my first fish on the bank with in 5 cast of the start of the
match on a Fire Tiger, homemade, tied jig fly, but at 2lb 4oz it wasn’t a game changer.
Unlike
last time there was no early action for rest of the gang. Time slipped by and we started moving swims. Jamie
had stayed close by a overhanging bush where there were fish topping and Steve, who was on his first Broome
Pike Match, was the other side of the bush. Jamie had a run that resulted in a 5lb 8oz fish that put him in
the lead. Steve came over to see it and I heard him say at least I’ve seen one! 2 Minutes later he was unhooking his very own fish, that, Tom said, you
know what that’s going to weigh, 5lb 8oz as it looked identical. We thought that they were maybe sharing
fish
🤣. But no! this one
went 5lb 1oz.
John had had
one in the meantime at 3lb 13oz so 5lb + was needed to get in the big money pay out!!! With 13 of us fishing our
biggest turn out yet you could almost retire on your winnings!!
We were into
the closing hour and still apart from a few dropped runs and a frustrating fish around the 5lb mark that nipped
at the tale of my lure twice and a lost fish on the way in that looked like it could fit in a sardine tin! But I
made up for it, with the only angler to catch Two Pike on the day! With a second Pike of 1lb 4oz and with a
combined weight of 3lb 8oz it couldn’t even get me into third place!
It was time
for another move, so over to BJs and catch up with the rest of the guys.
Mick had had
a nice Perch around 1lb 12oz on a live bait, and Tomas had had a Pike that was to get him a third place at 4lb
15oz. I managed to lose a fish that felt better in the last half hour but hey ho that’s fishing!
So, the
results of our second match were
1st Jamie 5lb
8oz
2nd Steve 5lb
1oz
3rd Tomas 4lb
15oz
4th John 3lb
13oz
5th Pete 2lb
4oz and 1lb 4oz = 3lb 8oz
Micks Perch
nice but doesn’t count on the day
The rest
blanked unfortunately on a hard day.
Alex, Tom, Guntis, Dimitar, Dave, Mike and Jason.
