Softbait trolling

I have recently begun working at a full time job, which means that there is less time for fishing. But this weekend I was out with my friend Henrik, at a very nice lake.

We started to hunt for the pikes by trolling at deep water. We had just put out two rods, when we had the first strike of the day. It was a fine fish around four kilos and a great start! But then we didn’t have any more strikes at all and we decided to go into the shore for some lunch. Some hamburgers were really nice a windy and cold day like this. We spoke about tactics and what we were going to do next.

Our new plan was to go with the highest possible speed to a bay. In this bay the depth was around 3-4 meters in general. Instead of trolling with wobblers, we used softbaits. We succeeded and caught two nice pikes. The first one weight 7,54 kg and was 99 cm long. The other one weight 8,24 kg and was 102 cm long. I was lucky to take both of them.
