anyone started piking yet ?

[fishypaul]

anyone out there done any piking yet?,i couldn't resist a quick session,the rain had stopped and decided to have a couple of hours on the kentish stour,just wandered round with a spinner or two,needless to say it started raining the moment i got there,got absolutely drowned but had some sport,got a couple of jacks quite quickly and a nice one of about 12lb at dusk,finished due to lack of light and borderline hyperthermia,the only disappointment was that i lost my favourite plug,an abu hi-lo ,had it for more than twenty years,not sure you can get them now,does anyone know.

Sound like a good day what lures were you using

[fishypaul]

i was using a bright yellow spinner-bait for most of the day,havn't used them before but caught on them early on,that gives you confidence,i seem to fish better with a lure when i am confident in its catching ability,thats why losing my abu hi-lo was such a blow,i had caught many fish with it,it was my-when all else fails lure,know what i mean?
