Jacks under the sun

[Guest Hauki]

With the bay completely muddy, and the hottest may weather I remember in the four years I have been living in Finland the pikes finally woke up.

 

The strikes are much more often than two weeks ago, and the catches too.

 

This report is from last Friday, 6 hours fishing, 4 pikes and several breams, now they are also trying to shallow the slalom bait, guess they should put some butter on it just to avoid the lure from getting stuck in that little mouth.

 

The activity is still completely centered after the midday, the first strikes came after 11 a.m, and the last pike was fished after 3 p.m.

 

 

 

These to fellows were still prespawn, 90 and 75 cm.

 

The next one was over 60-65 cm but it scaped from my hands before I could make the picture. I didn´t have to wait that long until the last pike of the day came.

 

 

91cm Jack postspawn.

 

And of course, a load of breams.

Those are some cool looking pike, Hauki!

It's no wonder there's so many large pike with such an abundance of soft finned forage.

 

Well done!

Some nice pike and decent sized breem. But you should consider taking out the hooks before you pose! If those suckers jump and you get stung it will definitely suck! I used to handle them like that until I got a hook stuck in me.

 

Good to see some posts from the eastern continent.

A measurement not used in Canada despite our governments insistence particularly when it comes to giving the length of your catch
