Then, a pike moved in, with regular strikes as roach cleared the surface on a regular basis.
The fishing slowed down and I thought to myself how ironic it was, after the recent pike blanks, to have an active one right in front of me.
That’s fishing for you though, isn’t it?
Talking of maggots, once I had showered and changed I paid a visit to Black Country Tackle & Bait to get more.
They’re now in the fridge (I have an understanding wife) for upcoming sessions.
