We have been getting plenty of photo submissions from our readers so far in 2008. It’s a good thing too, because Jon and I haven been fishing for months! I think this may be the longest stretch of time I have gone without fishing in years. I can’t complaint though, I’ve been busy with two jobs and raising a four month old little boy.
The weather here in Halifax has been awful lately, now and freezing rain all day long. I’m glad our buddy Mark from across the big pond has had good weather to do some pike fishing though. He was kind enough to send us a photo of his first ever pike, a beauty 8.5 pounder. I’m looking forward to seeing more pike photos coming up, especially once he has a couple custom made spinner baits to try out…
Hello again, Pike shaped guns, whatever next?! This was my 1st ever Pike I’ve caught, it was on a 7″ Yellow Goldfish deadbait cast out in a Trout Resevoir. I’ve got to admit I let my mate take the hooks out as I about shat my pants when I saw it come to the top! It weighed in at 8 and a half pounds which isn’t bad for a 1st one, the other difference i really noticed is they’re a nightmare to keep a grip on compared to the fat Carp! Cheers lads.
Welcome to the world of pike fishing Mark, and great use of the machine gun hold!
PS. There will be some announcements about prizes for photo submissions in the near future, so keep those photos coming!
