well off i went to the cutt off today me and my mate. when we got there i did not like the look off the flow it was fast running and thought i aint going to catch in this water. but any way got setup and the rods out both on roach dead. a couple hours into the fishing and nothing and is bad fishing in the flow as the leds just kept pulling never knew if we had bites or not. so then change to other bates i had with me so i changed one and left the other on roach still. and after about 20mins one off the rods was screaming mad so i got to it and hit and i was on then up it came up a pike off dead on 6lb. and i checked him over as always see if its alright and notice on off its eyes was all light green i thought its blind in one eye so then put it back

and then put some bait back on and off it went it out again. and then about 1 hour later i notice the rod kept bending abit and thought to my self its the drain pulling. and then it kept beep beep now and again and then thought is it a fish or the drain pulling. so then it stop so i just left it then about 5 mins later it was pulling again so i thought bug this im gonna hit it so i did and i was on. it was fighting good i could feel it shaking like mad then after about 20 seconds it came off .then i reel in and i had nothing on the end off the line it had snapped me clean lost every thing so i thought it must have sat there all that time and it must of swallowed it all down then i strike i guess it caught its teeh on my line and snapped me. cause nothing snap on me :) it was bad fishing in the condetion today never knew what a bite was out there it was a hit and hope i guess :) so then i set up again and out it went again. then 2 lads came over for a chat they said they been there all over night and had 9 zander between them they show us some pics nice looking fish 3 doubles out off the 9. they were in the usual zander swim lol so then my mates rod went he got a pike off dead on 6lb. but it had both eyes lol so i said to him i had anothe off this water flowing like this. so then we packed up and head off home still next week :)
