Well the fish are starting to get on the feed ... saw more pike caught today than I saw all year til this point.

 

Got my hands on some chubs and turned them into two pike (one around 15 inches ad one around 27 inches and one very hungry perch (the chub was about 3/4 the length of the perch).

Good to hear they are getting hungry , finally .  i like using live bait under a float for pike (as you know) . I can get chubs anytime with my trap . I am on the prowl for some minnows locally , but they haven't shown up yet , or they have changed location .

Well I caught this one on camera ... might be a tad cold for anything other than a super slow retrieve still

Caught my first pike. I usually go for bass and pannies but I’m getting bored waiting for bass season to open lol. Fun fish…

Nope, didn’t have anything to measure… Wasn’t huge, maybe 20inches.

Took the long rods for about 2 hrs. today , using swim baits for a change while my ice rods weep ...

But it was worth going to Port D. as it is such a fine day ....got a little breezy when I left. 

Water is still murky ,about 18" viz......

I missed the first fish ...about a 3 second run & off it went . About 10 min.later I hooked a good one .....

It felt very heavy but it gave up the fight after about two minutes & a couple of short runs before a young 

fellow netted it for me .... 

Stats.....  9 lbs. 5 oz.,  and  33 inches 

Inside story......2 smelts , 6 minnows   and preggo .
