First Hardwater Outing...... nice pike!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

First Hardwater Outing...... nice pike!

Post by Splake_Hunter »

I am pumped that one of our favourite pike holes is plenty safe for fishing. 6" of nice black ice. A friend and I had a couple hours free this afternoon so we set out after some pike and perch.

Fished from 2pm to 415pm, caught 2 perch, 3 pike and both missed a fish. But the catch of the day was a beauty 34", 9lb pike. It took several long runs on me, awesome fight!

Can't wait to get out again!

May the holes in your net be
no larger than the fish in it!

Thanks everyone! It was a solid fight! Made my day!

O4T: Ya, to be honest besides a nice smallie in August and a nice walter in October, I didn't have any post worthy outings in the boat :oops:

Hopefully I have some more ice posts this season.

Be careful out there!

Good Stuff.
All fishermen are liars except for you and me, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure about you.
