Pike stories. The three little pigs and the evil wolf!
"If you had to fish with a single pike bait, what would it be?"
This was the leitmotif of the pike fishing game below, starring Emil Grecu, David Neacşu, Ciprian Hrişcă and the undersigned, location Holbina Trei Bibani, The Danube Delta. It all started from a remnant between Emil and Ciprian, and we will participate in teams in a citizens' competition where the five biggest pike caught during two days of fishing counted.

Before leaving, the male-competitive peach fishing teasing begins and Emil tells Ciprian that he will beat us at least 10 places away. Ciprian doesn't let himself be outdone and puts it as if we were beating them each by fishing with only one lure, he with a wobbler, I with an envelope of gums. He went for a glass of wine. A few minutes later, Ciprian calls me, tells me about the rest and announces me with a laugh: “Arifule, prepare the pigs! What should I take? Baby Buster or Wolf Tail? Aaaa, wait, I still have a secret weapon from Anghelina, there is no such thing, I'll tell you on the way. "
Pike fishing and the story of the pig
Why pigs? Because if I had to fish with a single lure, not just for pike, even for pikeperch, I would definitely choose Pigshad family. Ciprian knew that, so he put me in a comfort zone. With Piglet of 10cm, Pig Shad Jr. 15-20cm, 23cm Pig Shad I would fish with confidence on any water, whether in the country or abroad. There are gums that have never disappointed me, as a landmark you see pike fishing in the Danube Delta on the natural, episode 1, episode 2, pike fishing on Săruleşti lake and chewing gum from Sweden. Basically, we start from pole position.
All our roads and ghosts
7.00 in the morning, the junction with Ciprian, Emil and David. On the way to the Danube Delta we make a census of the lures we will fish with. Even though I didn't catch the moment in the video, Emil told me that for him, at Holbina, the best ghost in time, for big pike, was Wolf Tail Jr. I declared all the pigs I had with me, David, as we know him, he called the famous Irish oscillator. The surprise came from Ciprian, who surprised us with a copy of Miuras Mouse handmade by Cristi Anghelina, his secret weapon, not yet proven in pike fishing. Honestly, I wanted to "forget" them in the car, however, I had a contest to win.
Four in two boats, if you count the ghosts
The program and rules were simple, two days of pike fishing, four rounds, beer break at 10.00 in the morning mandatory, lunch break, spirit and sleep at noon, the five biggest pike. Of course, several lures were used, but in the end, four of them caught all the scoring pike: Piglet Shad, Pig Shad Jr, Baby Buster and… not a surprise, Wolf Tail Jr. Who and with what won the citizens' competition? It remains to be seen in the video. Enjoy and revenge will follow!
