The Zander....



Hi guys, well, first addition from me. Had to add this one. Out fishing on May 31st from about 7.30 am at kyrkaviken in Lidingö. A beautiful sunny day, well over 20 degree's. Fishing on the float for smaller fish and two livebaits out for pike (had 6.5kg pike here before) Around 9.30am the livebait float went under and I struck into a very solid fish. Felt very strange from the start as the fish went straight out for open water and very deep!! After about 10 minutes fight I finally caught a glimpse of the monster and was shocked to see a very angry zander (my first ever).  On my very poor scales it weighed in at around 3.8kg, a beautiful fish. I'll be going back again to try for more...

You sure you didn't but that in a fishshop Ed?
Great photos, a cracking 8 point fish, nice to see you have worked out how to use your tag to post on the blog here. Maybe some of the rest of the blog members, all computer and camera illiterates to date, could follow suit and give it a bash, makes for a much better blog I reckon if we all post our photos and thoughts. Up the gears there lads....
