Alongside a couple of lakes near me runs a drainage ditch which is linked to the pools when there is enough water in it and pretty much dries out completely in the height of summer.

 

Had spotted a few pike in there over the past few evenings so decided to go and net em out tonight and put em back in the lake. A few of em evaded me and stirred up the water so I couldnt see em (I'llhave them another night) but I did manage to get 6 of em out including a nice double. Due to the brambles and stuff in the ditch they had got themselves quite badly marked up.......nothing deep though and they looked in ok health apart from that. With no other fish in there to eat they must have got a bit bored of their frog only diet though! :rolleyes:

 

Quite enjoyed myself........great fun! :thumbs:

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

It is quite possible they went there to spawn BUT if I leave em there, they breed then die cos they can't get back in the lake!

 

They can now spawn IN the lake and live to spawn another year.

 

No pleasing some people is there? :rolleyes:

Phil - I don't know anything about the love life of your pike or the chances of them being trapped when the water level drops so won't comment on that part.

 

However, fish do not tend to cut themselves on underwater obstructions unless they happen to be smallish and are run into an obstacle by a pred giving chase. Whatever was marking the pike was something other than brush or rocks or similar.

i disagree

 

some male species of fish mark and cut up badly during the spawning period as they delve deep into the vegetation in the shallows to fertilise those eggs..

 

male tench are the best examples of this...when you catch them in about july..they are in a right state.

 

fantastic fighters though !!!!!!
