Jack attack!


Recommended Posts


Amazingly ambitious little chap.

Many years ago when they pulled my local Woolworths apart I "rescued " some thick brass plates that had been round the door pillars. Somehow using the most basic and bluntest tools available I hacked and bashed out some 7 to 8 inch spoons .They looked like classic Mr Crabtree type devices that should have had giant pike queing at the net but all I caught was jack after jack on them . Only hooked one decent pike on the brass monsters and I messed up landing it due to slippery banks and heavy floodwater in the Arun.

cant beat a bit of piking i have had similar experiances with jack pike taking lures almost as big as themselves but what i do find funny is that when spinning for trout the little tiddlers will take lures that you would think that would be impossible to fit in theyre mouths

I think perch are a bit like bass . They'll have a crack at something as it passes just to knock it of kilter then come back to finish it off and see if it will fit in their mouth.
