throwing rubber about

[baitmaster]

well as i decided that my season is going well i thought i would throw a few rubber lures in the hope a zed would think i was a fish.
to make sure i did not change back to bait fishing i left it all at home and just took what i needed
i crept along the bank dropping in to various spots and working the lures .close in and then working across the drain desperatly hoping a take would materialise .
i kept this up for about three hours and tried several different styles of working the lure and still no joy . from creeping it across the bottom to jigging up and down in the water again a various speed but still not takes came . i worked the water to a frenzy ,
but as i walk back to the car i could hear the zander laughing at me and they must have been in hesterics watching me trying to imitate a fish .
but hopefully i will have the last laugh and trick one into making a mistake sooner or later
at least now i have made a start and that gives me a platform to work from.
i have to say although i had no zeds i did enjoy it .

They will come

Did you pick up any pike ??? just asking as then you know if you were working the lure correctly

[baitmaster]

no i did not but there again i was doing this during the evening when the zeds are more confidence in feeding .
although i have had some pike in the dark while zedding so i know they will feed but not to the exstent as they do during the day . i doubt i was working it right but they say practice makes perfect .
hhhmmmm interesting feel another post coming on day or night feeding pike

I think Lure fishing for Pike and Zander is a bit trial and error, until you hit the right lure at the right time in the right swim........then BINGO!!

Good luck with it BM.
