WEIGHING PIKE Once you have safely landed and unhooked your pike you might want to weigh it. There are many well designed weigh slings on the market today and one of these should always be used. Make sure that the sling is wetted on the inside before carefully placing the pike in it.

To get an accurate weight for your pike, the scales should be zeroed with the empty, but damp, sling in place. Then when the fish is weighed in the sling the weight you read off the scales will be the weight of the fish - no need for difficult maths deducting the weight of the sling!

Freshwater Fishing - Trout Secrets

Every guide has pet peeves.
Palmerton: I hate seeing trout mishandled, especially steelhead. It kills me when a guy wants a photo of a 10-pound steelie but doesn’t grab it correctly by the tail.
Gunn: Loop-to-loop connections on freshwater lines. They negatively affect casting dynamics, cause the tip of the fly to sink, and get caught in the rod guides.
Whitley: Most people don’t understand how subtly fish eat. It shouldn’t take a bullhorn to convince people to set the hook. When in doubt, set it.

Humminbird piranha fishfinder max 20

Built for maximum performance, the Piranha Max20 fish-finder offers 60 degree dual beam sonar with a wide 60 degree beam for fish identification and a precise 20 degree beam for better bottom detail.

You can clearly see fish from the wide beam as hollow symbols, and fish below your boat as solid symbols.

The high resolution 240v x 160h display with 4 level clear edge Grayscale shows sharper images of the bottom, fish and underwater structures.

This fish finder has a built in swivel mount to enable you to view the images from anywhere on the boat.

Using the water temperature included enables you to locate the preferred fish holding areas.

The one-touch fishfinder design makes the Piranha simple to use so you can have great fun and results with the minimum of hassle.
