Argh, missed a great pike!
Was down at Travers on Saturday with a couple of friends. Condition was dry, wind from the south, switching back to north wind later in the day.
Eyes were steady for me, but all under-sized. Just as we were packing to leave, my dead-stick hooked onto a large pike. I was able to bring it in close to shore but lost my pike rig, along with possibly my biggest pike to date, when the #10 clasp gave. I've updated my tackle, and looking forward to the weekend.
Any advice for a newbie to be more effective catching pikes?
