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

                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.

                      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.....

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

                            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.

                                        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….

                                          @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

                                            I'm still working out how to fish the moat.  It is fairly shallow ith a lot of weed.  A Mepps seems to swim at about the right depth not to keep collecting weed, but A Mepps is a small lure, so it is attracting small fish, I need to find a big lure that works well given the parameters I have to work with….
