Richard Gamble and I decided to have the last piking session of the season on Jurassic despite it not being that good to me this year in the pike matches. Richard started the ball rolling with one in the net at 6lb on the nose. I soon followed with a 9lb 10oz one on a sardine Rich had a second coming in at 5lb 8oz.
My next one took the scales to 9lb 14oz, (where are they hanging about for the matches 😀)! That fish was caught on half a mackerel head section.
Rich finally had a third at 6lb 5oz I think it was, so a good day was had by both of us in the end.
Caught, Friday night from 4pm to Saturday 3pm. Fishing with Dave, overnight, and Richard Gamble joining us Saturday morning.
Had the first early evening and then the weather changed. The second came just as darkness came and it was bucketing down!! Then, nothing through the night (luckily enough, as it was bucketing down all night).
Had two more in the morning with the last one hitting the scales at 24lb 1oz! Thought that would be it and was packing up just before 3 to watch the match when the right hand rod roared off resulting in another 14lber.
It was well worth braving the elements. Four fell to the right hand rod with a 15mm sticky krill boilie over a bed of 4mm pellets. The other fell to a 15mm pineapple boilie with an 8mm pineapple wafter, on the hair over a bed of 4mm pellets. So a cracking session on Jurassic.
Nothing over 8lb 3oz but having four out and two missed is a rare occasion this year on Jurassic as not even had one out on the pike matches 🤣 . Two were caught on whole Herring and two on big Joe Macks. It was we'll worth braving the elements. Unfortunately, Dave blanked, been a bad season this year with floods etc.
