Just returned home from my fishing-careers biggest disappointment: 4 days in Sweden, 30 – 35 hours of fishing and 0 fish! That’s bloody miserable and quite simply not good enough.
Expectations were otherwise high, as the trip last year – same place and time – produced several fine fish with a pike of 7.47 kg to top it all. In fact the water temperature measured 5 – 7 degrees lower than last year (3.5C) and the pike were therefore in anything but a biting mood. We tried everything in the tackle box, dead bait, different depths, cast- and trolling fishing, nothing worked. The only thing we didn’t try was live bait, so perhaps that would have been the key to success?
Although the fishing was somewhat lacking, the lake showed itself apart from the last day from its best side.
On Friday the Danish pike season starts and we're ready to rumble!
