Pike; Jerkbait fishing Afloat; Lidingö; 30th March 2014


A typical fish for Ed on the jerkbait....

What can only be described as a great days fishing today with Eddie and Jesper at Lidingö. I jumped at the chance to get onto the boat, although it is a little cramped with three people. I was a little late and by the time I got there The boy had a couple of fish each, averaging about the 5lb. mark. We spent the day fishing jerkbaits and a total of around 15 Pike were taken, with Jesper taling 8 fish, the best of which just making double figures. The action at times was fantastic and we had quite a few fish attacking lures on the surface which we didnt catch. A couple of times there were multiple fish on. A fantastic start to the season which confirmed that these fish have now returned to the shallows and are getting ready to spawn....
This one came from shaded water. All fish were lying in shallow water less than two metres deep...
