While lure fishing is booming in the UK, most anglers tend to use them during daylight hours relying on the vision of predatory fish like pike to spur them into striking. However, if this latest capture by Kieran Glarvey proves anything, it’s that lures can still catch fish after dark and that many anglers are missing out on some great fishing if they go home when the sun sets!
“After work, a mate and I decided to try a stretch of the tidal Trent known to produce big pike in flooded conditions.
“The moon was bright, so I selected a white fluorescent shad that I cast in the margins. I hooked a fish and, when netted, I knew it could be a river PB.
“I didn’t have scales, but a barbel angler nearby let us borrow some. When they read 29lb 2oz, neither of us could believe it!”
(THIS FISH WAS CAUGHT BEFORE MARCH 15TH)
