the Local canal is really neglected with limited areas to fish. so armed with just my light rod, a couple of Lures and a good set of walking boots. I headed down for a wee leap frogging session. I've noticed the perch in the canal are getting bigger. maybe this is because of the dense weed trapping bait fish making for easy pickings for any passing predator.
I also managed this scruffy pike out on a small lure. I try not to bother any of the post spawn pike but I can always avoid hooking.
Until next time tight lines
