A spot of Pike fishing

Due to various other commitments I have been unable to get out for a chuck in the salt but I was getting itchy fingers and I needed to get out of the house.

The weather looked decent - cold, bright and not too windy so we headed off for a spot of Pike fishing.

It was a lovely day to be out and just clear the head.

Below is the new Illex Jockie 120 F in Attract Pink colour. It is a shallow diving lure with a great wobble. It swims in the top 20 cm and I reckon it will be a killer for Bass and other predatory fish.

It produced a fish in the first 10 minutes - great start!

It was a false start though ..... we fished hard for the next few hours with no results before finally landing another an hour before the light faded.

It will be interesting to see how the new Illex plug will perform in saltwater but I am sure it will prove to be a regular in my lure box from now on.

Tight lines.
