Got two pike yesturday on the Idle. Both took the **** Pearson Grinder which is a 2oz spinnerbait, all orange and chartruese.
The first pike followed the spinner bait and missed it. Next cast produced an almighty take from a very hard fighting fish of about 10 lbs. Actually I think it weighed more - I didn't bother weighing it.
Next two casts some 50 yards up the river produced one follow and another pike of about 5 lbs.
All together a nice little session. Derek had 3 fish.
I have come torealise that within 50 miles radius of where I live there are a few very good pike waters, including the mighty Trent. These comprise mainly drains, rivers and canals. There is also Damflask Ressie.
