Polder pike



A post about my summer in the Belgian Ardennes will be for later, because I still have lots of pictures to process.
But this morning, I went pike-fishing in the Belgian polders with a couple of guys from my club. And since I didn’t fish for pike the whole summer, the expectations were high.

 
We found ourselves a nice little polder water and hoped for the best.




Here’s Dirk, our president,
in action.






And we got lucky, there were a lot of pike swimming around in it!
These are the best fish of the morning:

 



This is Nico with a new personal best for him, 89 cm of muscles. Well done Nico!





 





And half an hour later, I was able to land this 92 cm beauty.


Needless to say that I’m a happy man. This is certainly the best way to start pike fishing again…
