A Big Cold Blank

I was hoping for a bass on my local beach but the title says it all...

Another First

I was back on the river again last night armed with my two lure rods. I managed a small chub on my light lure set armed with my new Rapala BX Brat plug. I alternated between the light set up and heavier pike gear all the way up to the top of the stretch without any luck. Even the top peg where Jay caught his pike a few weeks ago gave me no joy.
Dropping back downstream I was retrieving my lure when a pike lunged and missed the lure, I quickly recast and the fish had a second go and nailed the lure.
After a brief fight a small jack slid in to the net, at about 4lb its not even close to being the biggest pike of my life but it was my first pike on a lure and my first off the Tees.
