Malaren; 13th October 2009

The best fish of a great days fishing for Pike, this one just an ounce under 10lb.

A superb fish of 9lb. 6oz. for Simon on a Zalt plug....

A lovely fish of 6lb. 13oz. opened my account for the day...

A superb day out fishing today for Pike on Lake Malaren with Jamie and Simon on the boat, jerkbaits the main takers of fish today. After a slow start with just a single jack Pike for Jamie the fishing rapidly improved in the afternoon with relocation to a sheltered bay which found the Pike attacking the lures freely for a hectic hour in which 15 fish were taken, 8 for Jamie and 4 each for Simon and myself! Simon had the first good fish when a lovely 4.25kilo(9lb 6oz.) fish snapped up his Zalt lure. Simon quickly followed this with another fish not far off 6lb, again on the Zalt. I was late into the action, eventually had a nice 3.10kilo(6lb. 13oz.) fish on a surface running Belly Buster. This was quickly followed by what proved the best fish of a superb day when I took a cracking 4.50kilo(9lb 15oz.) fish, just an ounce under 10lb., this time on a Buster Jerk. The fishing then went quite with the Pike apparently off the feed for the evening. Thanks to Jamie for the day, the boat making all the difference when it comes to this species....
