when i saw the weather this morning i must admit i was not as hopefull as Kevin was 
it was p**sing down and normaly Pike and rain don't mix but we carried on and i was the first to slip down the sodden bank nearly ending in the drains myself 
we got fishing as we got wetter & wetter and i put Kevin in a good swim and i fished to the left of him whilst talking him through the do's & don'ts etc etc 
then at about 09.15hrs Kevins float went for a little dance along the drain and Kevin had that expression " what the hell do i do now " 
after calming him down and talking him through every stage he landed a cracking 8lb 6oz Pike 
and the smile on his face said it all well done Kevin sadly that was the only Pike Kevin caught today but i went on to catch a 3lb 2oz and a low double Pike of 10lb the fishing was hard going and weather conditions where against us 
but with some thought we managed to pull 3 out between us 
Kevins first Pike on deadbaits
My first pike of day 3lb 2oz
My 2nd pike of day 10lb
