Fishing is mad enough; all that effort, only to look at a fish for 20 seconds before setting it free. But pike fishing is next level insane - let's go fishing in the worst weather of the year.
Absolutely hammering down, and the gravel pits had 3 foot waves on them. Bit like sea fishing. But a couple of pike - including my first pit double at 11lb 0oz. Totally worth it..!

There's a very old saying Brian. "We can't catch Salmon in the drawing room". So just reward for getting out there.
ReplyDeleteWe always look out on the frost & rain and say "can't catch them sat at home" - but some level of insanity helps!
DeleteI thought asmuch yesterday standing the mud, rain and dark bass fishing 🤔
ReplyDeleteWe suffer for our sport (but it doesn't matter so much when we catch).
DeleteYou don't have to be mad to work here.... but it helps!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes!
DeleteA decent fish makes us forgive all prior discomforts. When you start doubting that, break out the golf bats.
ReplyDeleteYou stand there in the cold rain, wondering about the choices you made to get there - then the float bobs and all is forgotten!
