Bloody lovely day, pike fishing was crap though, only managed one on a yellow perch Castaic, it was just a jack but at least it was a fish. Just after this a huge brown trout of about 5-6lb came up off the reef and looked at the same Castaic, bloody lovely fish, I would have preferred that than any pike of any size.
Later on in the day there was an almighty bang like a shotgun going off, it turned out it was a outboard engine, it banged then went on fire, and nearly took the boat out with it, the guys chucked the outboard into the water and put the fire out on the boat, we had to rescue them and tow them back to the boat hire place for them to tell the guy they had ditched his engine.
New gear tested out
6" Yellow Perch Castaic, This one caught the fish today so I can't complain, i was trying to save it for the lake, it will need extensive supergluing
8" Castaic Platinum Swimbait, the worked very well until i rigged a stinger then the action went from it, then the hook retaining magnet fell out of it, maybe write to Castaic and complain about this lure
Lindy Fish Handling glove, these gloves are great except they have changed them and put a big bloody seam down the index finger which makes them hard to use, maybe write to Lindy as well
Goretex XCR Trango Jacket, I have been trying to change my fishing clothes into mountain walking clothes as my pike fishing is going to take a different turn next year, i like hiking into the mountains to find my pike, fishing clothes are cheap crap and too heavy. This jacket is the ultimate waterproof outer shell, pockets, breathable pit zips etc etc, what more could you need
