Wink starting off 2012....with a welcome jack.......

Had a quick afternoon's session with some new kit......... I felt in a bit of a p*ssed off mood this morning so I though I'll brave the weather and a bit of fresh air will do me good. Well the air was certainly fresh... the wind was up and the gusts were almost knocking the rod out my hand whilst I'm attempting to cast.. it all calmed down for a good couple hours, and it helped too. I was really having fun with the new rod and reel, the casting requires little more than the flick of a wrist. with a bit of patiences, discipline(lost a lure to a tree) and concentration the lures were hitting the water right where I wanted. After walking & casting down a stretch of the canal, I headed back up to my starting point stopped of at a peg that has produced in the past and well.... you won't believe it!




First cast with a 'Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap' in silver shad pattern, I thoght i caught an underwater snag (with all the wind causing debris) but no, a nice jack of 4lb took off with a attitude of a bull. My heart was racing due to a fewfacts.......
- First fish of the new year,
- On light lure tackle
-On a brand new lure that i have never used........
my heart was piratically beating like a mouses....... my drag was set spot on and the fish was soon in the net....
All in all an enjoyable day, first one of the new year and hopefully many more to follow...

Peg is a term as a particular spot where one sits/stands to fish....... more commonly used with the static anglers over here.....

That's the way to start off the new year. Rattletrap is a good bait

I had a feeling you would be getting into some pike with those rattletraps. Congrats on your first fish of 2012 buddy. Nice way to start the year!
