Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Matty123]

That sounds awesome.

[Giles]

@jordanscollected and @Matty123 My first drop-shot rig…..

[Matty123]

That’s a nice perch pattern

[Giles]

If it catches me a Perch, it's a nice Perch pattern.  If it doesn't, it's fucking crap….

[Matty123]

I meant it Looks like a perch!

[Giles]

I know what you meant….....

[jordanscollected]

That’s a really nice swimbait @Giles. Those little fingers coming off will make some nice agitation in the water too. Keep up posted on the casting practice.

[Matty123]

I can’t stop fishing. Froze my ass off tonight.

[Giles]

Well done Matty…..

[Giles]

The local club has accepted me (the fools)….

Had to go to the dump and I passed the (well stopped, actually) fort with the moat that P and I scoped last weekend.

Caught a micro pike to a Mepps.....

[jordanscollected]

Those pike are called “Hammer Handles” in the U.S. still better than getting skunked.

[Giles]

Better than a blank…

[jordanscollected]

Skunked is a blank.

I saw your other post in Xmas traditions. Is that a Stradic? I have 2 and they the best reel I’ve ever used. It makes me proud that a pro also uses them.

[Giles]

Well spotted.  It is a Stradic 1000.  I have a Stradic 3000 for FW and another Stradic 3000 for SW.  Love them….

[Matty123]

Nice Giles!

[Matty123]

First keep of the year. 28”
Of course I let him go

[jordanscollected]

Nice fish @Matty123. I’m happy for you to be able to get out.

[Giles]

Well done @Matty123

[Giles]

I popped out earlier.  @jordanscollected I did not blank, but I swear this one is even smaller 

Something else has been having a go at this one….

[jordanscollected]

@Giles there are days when we are lucky to catch a pike at all, and days where we get annoyed because we catch so many when we are searching for largemouth bass. The little ones like that also attack from the side a lot and bite through my line, taking expensive lures with it. Annoying little swimmers those pike
