Hi all,
I've been doing a bit of waggler fishing lately and also some pike fishing (lures and wobbled deads) and have had no success for the past few weeks! Yesterday, I understand the canal was 99% frozen over but a couple of match fishermen managed to pull out some fish, I didn't have a single bite. I tried changing the depth, different maggot combinations as well as singles, doubles etc.
I haven't had a pike in a few weeks either, I've been wobbling smelt and sprats, ledgered them, too, not a single take. I know it's getting cold and they may be lazy but I've been targeting pockets which seem like ideal locations for pike.
Any tips and pointers are appreciated as usual! I just don't want to be a fair weather fisherman and miss out on months of fishing!
