Unfortunately I will be back on my night shift run again on Friday night. Good luck if you get out yourself, and I will look forward to reading about it.<br />Tight lines<br /><br />SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17934765220059758635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000359393551074770.post-46031818914911531122010-02-24T15:40:40.468-08:002010-02-24T15:40:40.468-08:00Cracking fish.

My landing net zips inside my mat for easy carrying and I just wouldn't go poking without both!<br />The Exe is a treacherous place though, with steep banks and thrashing pike a tricky combination- better to learn the ropes somewhere a little friendlier really, like Tiverton. May even get out Saturday morning The day after the PAC meet if you're interested?Dominichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904253076130268258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000359393551074770.post-29727263125168358352010-02-24T09:32:58.541-08:002010-02-24T09:32:58.541-08:00Happy Birthday Dominic, what a cracking Pike for y...Happy Birthday Dominic, what a cracking Pike for your efforts. Couldn't agree more about your comments on unhooking mats. I bought a pretty bog standard Carp mat, where the fish just end up flapping about and come off it, so invariably I unhook in the net and on soft grass to avoid damage and that's without it being an angry Pike as yet. I need to invest in a zip variety. What make do you recommend?<br /><br />Tight lines<br /><br />SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17934765220059758635noreply@blogger.com
