Default A Chewstatic day on the pike!
Click the image to open in full size.
OK a big thank you to Toby (wcb) my boat partner for yesterday... I missed the PFFA do on Chew and Toby bought my seat as he'd got his cheque in late!!

Toby and I therefore decided to meet up and I tied in seeing a client in Bristol on the Thursday... Handy!!

We had a great day boating 15 fish and probably losing as many... including a biggie...

I've got a report and piccies on the blog - enjoy (cos I did)!

Like the write up

I to had a great time and it was great to meet up.

It was a good day for the Pike it was such a shame that big girl got away.

Still there is always next time.

Interesting write up - thanks.

I fished there earlier in the week and had a very slow time - I couldnt find pike anywhere. Fished water from 18" to 25 ft deep and had one fish of less than a pound........No sign of fish anywhere - apart from suicidal trout (even on pike sized flies) !

Yes, they were saying that at Woodford on Thursday... I have a more scientific approach that I take note of and my day just happened to fall on one of those days It worked on Friday

Of course it had nothing to do with your guide for the day

Or your ghillie in the morning!!! LOL

I know that everyone goes on about bait in the water and if it ain't there etc etc BUT I do believe in the forces of nature... air pressure, cloud cover... etc etc... maybe it's just another confidence thing!!

True. I am with you on that. But even then you can just never tell
