:o :o quite a eye opener !! pike fishing on the loughborough canal  :o
what a lovely afternoon i had plans to go on my own with the dogs and do a bit of spinning .but i mentioned it to a customer in the shop and he said he'd like to go as he goes quite regularly on the river but hadn't tried the canal for pike
so off we went the lovely thing about spinning is your tackle is as light as you like and all in a rucksack with a flask  ;) tony on the other hand had more tackle than most match anglers but all fitted in a proper rucksack
spinning is not just about casting out and reeling in as i found out  from tony but what did surprise me was the amount  of takes we had off perch as well as pike it was really enjoyable and i would recommend it to everyone to have ago by the end of the afternoon we had walked about 3 miles and had caught 7 pike not big ones probably 7to 10lb the biggest and a 2lb 8oz perch which had a even bigger perch chasing it :o the dogs were knacked so when we called into the pub on the way home they sat in front of the fire while we had a couple of pints Imagewhat a great afternoons fishing  Image

Something I need to restart as well Joffie.

6 or 7 years back I used to pop out for an hour or so every weekend spinning on the cuts round here.

Always used to end up with a at least a jack, using my old heavy feeder rod.

Decided to treat myself and I went and bought a dedicated Daiwa spinning rod and a ruck load of plugs.

Guess what - the rods never seen the bank and has sat in the spare bedroom for the last 6-7 years Image

The last two times i've fished the Extension TK, my keepnet has been assaulted. Loads of pike in there.

I also played and lost a fish i'd estimate at about 8lb. Had it on for ages, bloomin nuisance.

It's amazing how much stick balanced tackle can take with just a no3 elastic though.
