Pike pics

Post by **Johnny Bass** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 2:54 pm

Well here is a few pike pics over the years. I have targetted them for the last 5 years and I have yet to catch one over 10 lBS!!! I dont know if it is because I NEVER use leaders. I have had at least 20 bite offs in my life. But why have I been able to hook HUGE musky and bring them to the boat. I have never even hooked a big pike and lost it.

This year I will try to get my first Pike and Channel cat over 10 lbs.

6-7 lber.

36 inch pike. Canal lake. only 6-7 lbs. grrrrr

My cousin comes out to fish for the first time in years. As you can see, he caught it. 12 lber. 33 inches. grrrrrrr. I've caught bigger looking pike than that and none were 12 lbs. Did it swallow a cannon ball??????

Nippissing pike.

I caught over 30 pike that day and these were the biggest ones.

well this is the closest I got. 9+ lbs. Sparrow lake. Only fish I caught that day and On a green grub.

I have caught literally thousands of Pike and not yet hooked into a big one. hopefully this year my luck will change.

If you want big pike, take the time to fish Stokes Bay. It's have way up the Bruce Peninsula on the Lake Huron side. Fish the south -east corner of Lyal Island. But don't even bother if you don't use a leader !!

the first pic is 16 lbs. and the second pic is 20.96 lbs

If ya want a big 'cat, try the lower Grand River close to where it empties into Lake Erie. Last spring I caught a 15.5 pounder while trolling for wallys.

There's a lot of them and they're big!

There's an old pic of my 2nd biggest pike ever (gotta love my fashion sense back then, lol). Of course my biggest pike ever is undocumented. Let's hope I can beat it this year!

Don't despair they are nice pike. Pike over 10 lbs are not that common in southern Ontario.

Usually the best pike come from big water. Don't know why for sure but its true. The following waters have the biggest pike in southern Ontario.

Ottawa River, Lake St Lawrence and St Francis, St Lawrence River, Bay of Quinte, Lake Simcoe, Lake Muskoka. There are people here who could tell you about bays on Erie and Huron/Georgian Bay.

I catch alot of pike each year from the St Lawrence and most years my best pike is barely a ten pounder. Last year the only fish that big I caught was from Charleston Lake. My biggest pike ever was a 19 pounder from Quinte 20 years ago.

Thanks for the compliments guys. They were really fun to catch.

Hey moon dog. Those are some beautiful pike. I cant wait to catch me one of them.

Thanks for the tips guys. Now that I have my boat I will definately pound the waters of Quinte.

10+ Pike are more common than you think in Ontario. I know many, many people that have caught them. Especially in the spring.

I think I will stay out of Back bays and fish more open water. I think that is why I never hook a monster Pike.

Ottawa river is an Amazing fishery. I fished at Tamiskaming(from shore) once and the action was steady. I saw everything caught from Sturgeon to perch.I had a Pickeral almost as big as me(well not that big.lol) Chase my rapala to shore and took off. I Also drove to mattawa for some channel cats but the dam down river was closed and the main river was REALLY DEEP. Caught nothing to brag about. But hopefully one day I will come to one of your events.

As far as Manitoba? I would love to fish the Red River for Channel cats and Walleye one day.
