Weir fishing on an Inflatable sib boat, our first pike

This was a dream come true for my son and I.
We took our inflatable sib boat to mapleduram lock and weir at purley on the river Thames.
We was only expecting to catch some small fish, if any at all. we hooked into a pike. We had no net to land it and we had to man handle it into our tiny boat by hand.
We always go fishing with the hope of hooking into something worthwhile. Well today we were took by a complete surprise!
My son Harley was so pleased, I don’t think I’ve seen him so happy while fishing.
My son Harley has been watching the ginger fisherman on TH-cam and been picking up all the top tips off the pike god!!!

Wow what a great farther and son moment! Great fish id love to see some more fishing from you guys! Love the fishing box! What is the lid made from did you make the lid?

[@Budgee197]

Thanks!😁
Yes we will never forget that , it’s locked in the memory bank😜.
The lid is made of an old house for sale board, it’s like a hard plastic cardboard, that’s the best way I can describe it really. It’s quite sturdy. We used cable ties to make the hinges for opening and closing it. We had fun making it and it really does work quite well and keeps all you tackle neatly on one place😜

@@Budgee197 nice great idea!
