For us, there's really only one reason for the high missing rate: fishing pressure. A fascinating thing. It makes us tie al kinds of different streamers, in the firm belief that variation will fool even the most wary pike. But who's to say it's the streamer anyway? Today, all the pike were caught and moved in the first hour. After that, nothing at all. Since we know this water we're sure there are pike even where we couldn't move one.
Conclusion so far: we're pretty sure about what causes the higher missing rate, but what puts the fish off remains a total mistery. And of course it's exactly that mistery that keeps us fishing in the first place...

I guess the mistery of that day was Erik S. who happens to fish the same polder and what I heard of he was having a blast on both thursday and friday. Knowing Erik just a little bit I think the first hour we fished in the waters he did not pass by. The part we fished the second hour he came along the same day already.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThursday I fished from 15.30-16.30,caught 2, missed 1, say from the point where we met last time, walking to the right.
Friday I encountered a big mama, but that was close to 's-Graveland, so perhaps there are other fisherman active on this track?
grtz,
the mystery man
Laat voor ons het nu net daar zijn geweest waar de aanbeten stopten!
