Floyd's First Pike Fish.

Floyd and Lloyd went over the Star Lane Fishing lake in Great Wakering, Essex. It was Sunday and my son, Lloyd had gone back home from my house after doing some pike fishing along the rivers of March in Cambridgeshire. He got the taste for pike fishing, even though he is more of a carp man. 

He told me he would take Floyd over the Star Lane lake when he got home as the youngster is getting a taste for fishing. So has Lloyd's wife Claire. Soon, I can visualise the whole family going fishing. Lloyd and Claire and all the five children. 

Floyd caught this pike within the first few moments of arriving. It set him up nicely for the day. There were other fish too, but I think Floyd was pleased most by his first pike. :D

The Carp My Son Lloyd Knew was There.

I joined my son, Lloyd, on the Fishing Lake. I was to get my granddaughter's birthday present. I wanted to get a move on, but he kept saying, "Do you mind waiting for an extra five minutes?" 

He kept repeating that his bait would be taken and he could see the ghost carp, as he called it. He missed that one but hooked another. Suddenly his bite alarm went and as he struck, there was a huge splash by the reeds. 

He battled for about a couple of minutes when I had the sudden idea of putting it on the phone video.
