I'd mentioned big baits in this post - my choice today being head/tail sections (dyed & flavoured) in the 4-6 oz range.<br />When I packed up, around 18.30 hrs the mackerel and whiting looked like they'd been through a mangle! This was a deliberate action aimed at reducing the eel nuisance. Heavy leads and indicators ensured I wasn't constantly alerted to this bait snaffling. However, I will get back out there, later in the year, with much smaller fish baits to see if eels play any part in the night feeding behavior of these pike? - cheers for the comment - DylanDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-9935553411795823672017-11-18T17:19:05.490+00:002017-11-18T17:19:05.490+00:00No eel trouble ?

The pike have nowhere else to go and my repeat captures, over the years, confirm my suspicions that they are of a very low stock density. That I had such a hectic session would suggest I've dropped onto a transient "hot spot". Great fun, but not what I desire if I'm to continue to push the boundaries of my knowledge.

My Nikon has an option to keep the remote release active for up to 15 minutes so could try some action shots too. My syndicate stretches do have several miles between mills and repeat captures are thankfully diluted by distance and quantity of other piekeBureboybloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517207672662059349noreply@blogger.com
