Jwl1 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Had the pleasure of getting out with smerch today after what seems to be forever. We headed out with the thoughts of multi species possibilities for the morning....a bit of floating around some minnows...fishing the bottom...and a bit of bottom bouncing in hopes of a trout a pike a perch or anything else that might bite for that matter...we spent a few hours giving it a go with no success...then I finally pulled one out of a hat. I think the sudden cold snap and weird weather today may have had them turned off a bit.... Let the cold water season begin!!!...lol.. Always a pleasure Bill..thanks for the pick up and the minnows and of course the good company. We will have to get out again soon Jmaz4, Radio, Captain Hooksets and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Jack ....you are the PM again today ! The parking meter was just about expired and you nail a pike . Considering the cold wind , very low water level (floats set at 3.5 ft) , you managed to snaggle anothe pike . Call me EELer I think that the last "fish" I caught ! I'm losing my touch , and my mind !! anyhoo ....it was good to see you and great to fish again and get rid of some rust ... and it was nice to finally see a few minnows with the gulls & cormorants getting some . The crowd on the east wall didn't seem to be getting much action , maybe the sudden cool down .... pike was exactly 24 inches ...tomorrows supper ... thanks Jack !

Jwl1 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Pike is good eats if you do the ole 5 fillet way....that one was a bit chunky for the size of it....basically go in behind the head and pectoral fin down to the back pectoral fin and stop there...flip and repeat.....then go from the back pectoral fin to the tail on both sides.....run from back of the head on top when your knife hits the spine....run the knife down to the tail......best way to do a pike....I hate bones in my dinner....well except for gnawing the crap out of a big T bone...ive known Bill for over 15 years....best video you might get out of him Tyler is a picture of his dinner....lol....and I do believe the time I fished with you Bill and you got the eel.....you also got a couple good solid perch.....we both got perch around 15 inches....you got some cats....and I had something big break me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops I hit the keys backwards again ...typing too fast with two or three thumbs . Sorry , it was 42 inches ! The meter guy was friendly , after I gave him my evil look ...... Yes the 5 fillet method works good , sometimes get a few bones from the anal area where the two cuts meet .As you can see the large back piece has a line of tissue which is removed .

I hear it good camoflauge for catching pike ..... Jwl1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
