Luring and Pole fishing in UK

[Mathew]

Greeting from the land of Liverpudlians..
Time passes so fast and now I'm into my 3rd and last year of uni with one more month to go. I'm so stressed up with work/school/churchband/family. Trying to sqeeze out every second I could.

Anyway just a small CR on what I've been doing over here.

I've been recently luring for pikes had nothing big yet. The Biggest was about 9lb taken on a nice XPS fat rap style lure.


9lb+ pike.


One of my recent catches.

Pole fishing wise... hmmm won a couple of charity matches not too bad manage to get some trophys and also manage to get my very first sturgeon.


my very first sturgeon.

I will try to add on more to my post when I've got the time and sort out my comp. Too many items everywhere at the present moment.

Take care to all.

Nice catch Matthew,

What bait did you used to catch the sturgeon? That pike would have given you a workout on your 6wt.

Keep it coming.

Hmm I had the sturgeon. Believe it or not on a sweetcorn and size 20 hook. 2lb line.
Quite a fight though. Well pikes sad to say don't give that much of fight. But then I feel if you hit a 15lbs or more should be good fun on both fly or lure.
