Pike 1992-93 Overview

In the 1992-93 season I had messed about really, with pike fishing. I was still evolving my method and learning about the subject (never ending...), and in this season I had 20 odd fish, which worked out better than 1 fish per session, with a 17½lb fish and a first "twenty" @ 20½lb, plus two 10½lb fish, which given the suspicious lack of the same eye, and the same corner of Pike Pit leads me to think it was the same fish. I had got around to popping baits up and using attractor oils and had already swapped to VB doubles. The larger fish are recorded separately.

Below are a few of the pike caught in that season. My apologies to everyone for not having the unhooking mat we all have (and should have) now. I can assure you that they were unhooked with care (and the right sort of padded gag) and returned promptly after being photographed.


Pike Pit Pike #1

This and the next four fish were caught on Pike Pit in 1992, by myself and my brother. The only thing I can recall for certain is that fish above is the 10½ lb one eyed pike I caught again later in the season.

Pike Pit Pike #2
Pike Pit Pike #3 Pike Pit Pike #4
Canal Pike

This fish, a smallish one was caught on the Kennet and Avon Canal, after pestering roach I was catching. Single sprat, single VB hook rig.

This season was good enough for me take pike fishing more seriously, and fired with enthusiasm I headed for the 1993-94 season. I had other hobbies in summertime, and only really in December did I get round to picking up the pike tackle again
