Due to a late start I decided to drop in to the car park swim and have a quick fling about with the lure rod before reverting to dead baits. It wasn't long before a little jack, just over twice the length of the lure, grabbed hold to provide me with the first fish of the year. After another 20 minutes, or so, of fling lures about a dropped the dead baits in. One on the bottom, one popped up and one drifted about at various depths. Around lunch time I had a few casts with a small jig, bounced along the bottom, it produced an even smaller jack.
Despite moving the baits to all the likeliest looking spots there was no interest from the pike. A wander round with the lure rod produced just a single follow. Still I'd had a couple of fish so another blank was avoided.
