knightfisher Posted July 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Gibson pike. Was out this Am for about 2 hours and no signs of fish. Threw out everything I had, nada. Talk about disappointing. This evening, second cast with a white spinner bait, brought in this 22 inch pike. Guessing with the heat the last few weeks the pike have gone deeper.

We have these masks ....... ....and I know what you mean about "smelly" fish . Pike have a distinctive odour and even small fish like smelts can easily be i.d, by smell . After a day of having carp in my rubber net , I know well NOT to leave the net in my van in the heat ! I give the net some time to dry before leaving and carry a big leaf bag for it until I get home ....reverse the bag , hose both down and let dry in the shade . (maybe some pretty smelling spray is in order) ... мормышка 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted July 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 If my net doesn't have pike odor, it was an unproductive outing, I look forward to the smell🙃 smerchly and Tyler0420 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Bluebird skies, mid afternoon. Put a few casts in one area, and as the lure got close to me was about to pull it out of the water and this gal took it. What a nice surprise. Was 32 inches. fishingking and мормышка 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightfisher Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Walking the dogs along Gibby this AM, I brought my rod and believe it or not, caught this skinny 22incher on the first cast. That's a first for me. мормышка and marktheperchman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris77 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 New to the forum, saw this thread and got excited. I do most of my fishing up at our cottage located on Kawigimog Lake, just south of the French River. Although I am still learning where the fish are I have managed to learn some areas, and discovered areas to begin the season next year. I'll get one more shot at it this year at Thanksgiving but here is a smaller summer time pike I got this year. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
