My 2 buddies finally bought their licences after months of convincing. My friend S had a good time smoking his cigar after a few tangles. My friend R had his first legal pike on his very first cast!
I was trying to teach them well so we released of course. I caught 3 more, all decent girls too. When we got back they were talking to their Parents about getting a combo and some tackle. Cheers S and R. Glad to share one of my many hobbies with anyone who cares.
One question tho from myself. Are there any lures or techniques that can be fished in a shallow lake with weeds everywhere? I've caught more weeds than fish and would like to spend more time fishing than picking weeds off my lure.
