bit of pike fishing yesterday

[mudd dog 128]

i decided late yesterday afternoon to take the young fella down the road to a wee lake id fish regularly for pike. since it was a great day i brought a barbecue and a few tins for good measure. we hadnt been there long and my son had a run on a mackerel tail on the bottom. 3 lber. he was pleased as punch at his first ever pike. shortly after i got a run on a popped up pollen just off the bottom. turned out to be an 8lber but it didnt half fight. it tail walked out of the water at least 4 different times, great crack. shortly before we left my young fella got another run, mackerel tail again. didnt even weigh it as it was even smaller than his first fish. he enjoyed every minute of it and hasnt stopped talking about it since, so for the few hours we were there we couldnt complain it was a good evenings fun to say the least................ mudd dog...............
