Lovely read Christian. Curiously I can recall my first everything except my first pike.I do however remember a day when the fog never lifted and me and my then fishing pal had 21 jacks between us....and they all went in the same keepnet. In our defence we were very young .
I hit bites early too.I sit over my rods and if the bobbin moves I'm on it.
Nice read. Reminds me of my first pike(lette) from the Chace at Dagenham. Those older bully boys were there also. They certainly got around. The poor jack was pounced upon by "experienced" older boys who quickly cut its head off and threw it into the pit. Later one of those strange coincidences occoured whilst using a small hook..I caught the rotting head neatly in the corner of the mouth. Haunted or what?
It seems the more pressured a water is, this is certainly the case - especially those Bury Hill wackers!
