LAST MINUTE LURE SESSION 9-01-13

9-1-2013

While sat at home at the last minute i decided to grab my lure gear bag rod and lures and headed out in search of some monster pike on the canal . So i left home at around 1:30pm and started my lure session at the opening by William Arther's bridge (know to us anglers as the green bridge).I started off using a suspending a 19cm dirty roach 4 play lure made by savage gear i started to work my way down towards the basin while having about 5 to 6 cast around in each and working the lure around the reeds on the inside as i have had alot of hits in past lure sessions on the inside along reeds and even just under your feet as the lure is coming up to the surface.Around 40 minutes into my session i had my first hit and landed a 4lb pike and after returning the pike to its home i changed to a orange and yellow savage lure and carried on down to the basin.i got to the boat platform and had no other hits so after having a chat with a chap that rides along and always stops for a chat i changed from the orange savage lure to the savage 19cm hot copper 4 play slow sinking lure and started to make my way back towards were i started my session with no more action today i left and made my way home until the next time
tight lines.

   short lure session on the grand western canal green bridge to tidcombe bridge

So welcome back to my blog thanks for taking the time to reed this please check out the links on my blog page and add me on face book and twitter any way back to the reason your reading this for the fishing his is going to be another short lure blog as onlymanaged to get out for a couple hours in search of some pike.I left home with the idea of fishing a stretch on my local canal that i have not fished this year for pike on the lure.As always i started off at the opening were i enter the canal at the green bridge instead of my ushal stretch down towards the basin i turned left and headed under the green bridge.I started off on a 9.5cm savage gear 4 play fire tiger lure and after casting in the first couple swims half a dozen times i had my first hit and was into my first fish of the session a small jack pike of about 1 to 1 and a half pound after returning the pike i moved on up having about 4-6 cast in each swim by the time i had got to tidcombe bay i had 6 hits and landed 5 of them all the 5 pike was from 12oz to a max of 3lb the 6th hit was a fish of around 2 lb but shook the hook at the net.I made my way up past tidcombe were there was a match angler pole fishing from exeter angling club he was doing very well fro the time of the year and what as happened on the canal in the past months and withe the water level being at its lowest due to pumps running and pipes being put on on the tiverton side any way back to the angling side.he was catching alot of small fish inc roach and skimmers and the odd very small perch he also had 4 bream early in the session he was giving the area a go to see how it is fishing as exeter team jinx got a match on this sunday coming on the tidcome to glee blends area.So after a chat with him and another pike angler that had also landed 5 pike all small like myself but he was wobbling dead baits on a single treble.After a long chat with both of then i made my way back through tidcombe dead-stretch and to the green bridge having a few more casts in between but the rain set in was starting to get dark so i called it a day and headed off home good luck to the exeter lads on sunday and until the next time tight lines
