1.-) Simon with a fantastic specimen of 20lbs 8oz; it looked bigger!
Why we travel the 600 miles to Loch Awe |
19lbs 12oz - pike fishing perfection? |
3.-) Benno with his 19lbs 4oz beauty
19lbs 4oz - Benno's 2nd heaviest fish, both of them from Kilchun Bay, Loch Awe! |
The heaviest pike of a three fish haul - taken within 20 minutes! |
5.-) Me with a 16lbs 5oz fish (exactly 1lb heavier than my previous Scottish PB!)
31 years after I caught my first (15lbs 5oz) Scottish pike - this fish is a personal milestone! I've taken my Scottish PB to 16lbs 5oz. |
A bit of "photo-shop" technology to remove the "red-eye" problem with Benno. It doesn't work with fish? |
8.-) Benno with a 15lbs 9oz pike
9.-) Simon with the first fish of the trip - 15lbs 6oz
10.-) Me with a 15lbs 2oz fish - on our first morning.
Ten magnificent fish from our 2013 Loch Awe trip; all taken on dead baits, some fished at 150m+.
Fantastic memories which will remain for the rest of my life - I don't think that any of us will ever experience this quality of pike fishing again. Proper piking, for wild fish, in a wild and wonderful place.
What are we going to do next year?
Hello Dylan, fantastic pikes - wonderful pics. My friend and myself are planning a fishing trip to Loch Awe next year. We are only using flies and spinning lures. What do you think is the best period of time for doing this? Do you think Mid/End of May is usually a good month or better in June, due to the fact that maybe the pikes are more active. Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards Markus (markusmarek@gmx.net or via FB https://www.facebook.com/markus.marek.77 )
