One pike today, small one at 9lb.
Lost another 3 though 😩. Pike season on the Reservoir finishes Monday.
Going to miss it. Really enjoyed it and at least something that will help to get me through next Winter starting on October1st.

Keep going 👍

My last session Monday and never hit my target of a 20lb. One last chance.

Biggest 18lb and a few 16’s.
Yesterday my best friend growing up and from school came up and just sat with me.
Chatted all day like Whitehouse and Mortimer, kettle going, few tins and it was like heaven. We never fell out, just a case of going in totally different directions.
Talking bollocks and laughing at everything - we all need it Mate.👍🎣

Me and my mate fished last Friday and he declared he was Paul Whitehouse and I was Bob Mortimer.

Probably about right!

Last day of the Pike season on the reservoir and glorious sunshine.
Caught 3. Not the biggest.
11lb and 2 x 13lb.
Incredible that a couple were taking a photo of the 13lb and as I slid it back the other rod went again and they watched me land another 13 and took another photo.

The Carp were cruising all day.
Just loved that.

There was a picture of it on Facebook. The male lumpsucker guards the eggs in spring, we used to find them down Whitburn when there was a spring tide. Lumpsucker eggs are sold as caviar in some places.

The Carp in our reservoir were cruising about yesterday.
A couple of big ones around 20lb at my feet. One swam into my rod tip setting the buzzer off.
I put my glasses on and at one point counted over 20.

Tight lines 🎣🎣

Few little hounds starting to show down holderness now 😎😎

Few weeks for the weather to warm and the first of the crab to start and it should take off down there. Love it down there in the summer.

Not sure to be honest mate just seen a few on the holderness page on Facebook.

One was at the shit pipe and not sure where the others were.

Can’t wait like I love it down there in the summer

Aye shit pipe is a good shot.
I like Easington & Kilnsea for easy access.
Some decent rays coming out now along with the odd hound. Won't be long.

I do well with squid bluey & hermit crab if I can't get any peeler 👍

Aye I like Easington it’s just too popular due to easy access like.

I fished Hilston a lot last year. Easy to get down but about a mile walk to where I fish sk not many make the journey thankfully haha

Can’t wait tbh like.
