Rob Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) I have just spent 5 days in the fantastic Brecon Beacons. We just happened to be staying next to Llangorse lake and I just so happened to have a Mercury 3.3hp outboard with me! So a day on a rental boat was in order. Generally this is a pike fishing water and I had some insider info from Alun J as he has previously spent time pike fishing at this venue. Well, the day was overcast, slight wind and not too cold - perfect. I managed 6 pike - best going 8lbs. 5 on dead baits and one on a lure - missed one on a surface lure which was surprising for the temperature of the water and the brown soup-y colour of it. Pics - below: Eyes bigger than it's belly - that lure is 28cm overall! Just thought I should give it a chuck as I had it with me! Not the 20lb+ I was hoping for - more like 5lb. Note the scares on the belly - must have had a close call at some point. Self portrait with the 8 pounder. Life Jacket - check. No crutch straps - it was inland! Stunning Sunset.
