Oh no! The season is less than two weeks old and it's two Jack's Pike in a row. I think I'd landed 12 barbel by this time last season, I've only managed about 2 hours fishing all week, a blank for me but Darren did catch a small trout... Need to get back on it!
The river seems rock hard this season compared to last, everyone is struggling it seems. Tried a short session after work for a couple of barbel I saw last weekend didn't seem them but the large chub thats with them was. No bites though.
ReplyDeleteI think (hope) they are a bit behind due to the weather... On the feed later this week..!?
DeleteIt's a world wide phenomenon it seems. Haven't hooked a decent fish in over a month over here. Hope it turns around soon for you.

You and me both! Going to have to look at a summer pike...
DeleteA few more sessions back at the river and you'll soon see that your mojo is still there... Don't give up!

Hopefully get back on the river at some stage this week, I'll get them!
DeleteDefinitely a slow burner this year.

I was talking to a lock keeper on Thursday and he says; judging for the size of the fry the river fish are 5-6 weeks behind their normal timetable... Things will get better...
