Wind down and hit it

Butterley Very mild January day - around 10 degrees At points very bright. Fished high bank about an hour then moved along to the small outlet Fished into the bay and had this 3lb pike fairly quickly

Exciting stuff - float buried - could have been a monster. No one else doing anything Baliff advised fishes better for pike when colder!! Good confidence boost that more can be had. Only fished for 2 hours tops. Enjoyed it I'll be back to tempt that creature from the depths. Wheres Nico? Wearing that thermal suit to bed? 2014 - Personal best carp, pike and roach from Butterley.
