knightfisher Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Some of us guys and gals target pike, so lets see those pics. Size does not matter. Always nice to see different markings of these toothie critters. Jwl1, fredfisher, мормышка and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snags Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Well I am now back in town and ready to get the pike this afternoon. I will be starting at one of my usual haunts and going until it is either too cold, or hunger hits, or my speaker dies and I have no music.

I should have went fishing today , but played in the back yard instead ! But ....being an old established retiree , I have plenty of time to choose when to 'head for the hills' ....like TOMORROW ! ....before the monsoon rains come to us this week ! Got the "new" reconditioned carp rod ready to invade the old "shallow" spot in the morning . ....forgot to add .... The heavy rains expected will put a damper on some spots with heavy mucky runoff , so I'll switch tactics and do some lure tossing for those toothy ones !

Snags Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 One pike today, had one hit, and had another one on that fought like a bat out of hell, that one wound up getting off. Pics later when I have some time. Bubba14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 The pike ... measured up around 27". I have re redo the spinnerbait as it was a bad hook combined with the spinnerbait getting caught in the net ... it is a mess. No pic of the fish on shore, as the goal was get it back into the water ASAP since the unhook tool a little longer. gunner-2, Bubba14 and fredfisher 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Nice to get some action on your own bait design...good thing you might have a few spare parts kicking around to fix up the ones that get munched ..lol...and cool about keeping the pike thread going..I'm hoping to add a pic or 2 soon.

Snags Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Today was a good day ... maybe a little too much sun. Started just washing the lures, but then changed locations and had one that went for it but didn't get hooked. An hour or two later and this bulldog hit. It managed to make the net man bleed. I should add ... on one of my creations as well. knightfisher, Jwl1, smerchly and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishingking Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Back at it this morning with bobber and minnows and managed a beauty pike at 37 3/4 " and 7.8 lbs...took me for a few zings on the 6 ft with 6 lb test...and some a$$hoe stripped a bunch of wire and left the coverings there🤬 fredfisher, Bubba14, dave524 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-turd Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Very nice but what did you weigh it with? At almost 38” it would definitely be over ten pounds for sure, especially with the girth I’m seeing in the pic... just my opinion smerchly and dave524 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мормышка Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 With belly on pike I say 13 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingking Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just have a rapala Digi about 8 yrs old ...if anything I think it would read more weight if it wasn't working right no?I rarely weigh pike anyways but it was fairly big and i was curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
