I dont necessarily know about the moon etc, but I think anyone here who says they dont notice a difference in fishing dependent on the weather is crazy. Barometric pressure relates entirely to what kind of weather we are experiencing and I find any time that there is a big drop, the fish are on. This is most likely due to the fact that when it rains, food is flooded into the lake and the fish feed, hence if you fish prior to the rain the fish are active and ready to feed but the food they are waiting for isnt available yet. I fish a lot and I honestly do not think there is any denying that the majority of times when the fish are biting hard is prior to a storm system. This past weekend if fished buck horn and the bite was on hard all day albeit the very ...of course a storm blew in Sunday morning.

i like this idea of running the grub off of a single hook spoon, thanks for the tip, I am definitely going to try this out.

Ill ask my friend this weekend, I am heading to pigeon/buckhorn tomorrow.

I mis spoke, usually I will switch after the pike goes quiet. If a pike misses, I usually throw it right back at him, but if I get no action the second pass I switch fast.

care to show me a picture of this rig? Sounds interesting

dont forget, Argentina scored but got it called back... Ive got a lot of money riding on Germany winning...#officepoolchampion

maybe im crazy but my PB pike was caught on a 5 of diamonds

I dont know if you fish any other lakes for other species, but the pike, walley bass bite was literally 3 weeks late this year. I even had some of my best fishing for pickerel ever on Canada Day which is usually a write of on Huron, I couldn't believe it.

call me crazy, but i always fish with wire leaders for pike, to me they usually ambush the meps, spoon etc anyways and dont seem very concerned with the line I am using. I also like the ability to swap lures in seconds flat when a pike comes in and misses the first hit, A quick swap to a different colour or pattern gets me back on the water and able to go after the pike before its gone. I will also mention that ive been fishing with braid for walley for the past 5 years since i got a place in pointe au baril, and i honestly dont feel like the line I am using has been the deal breaker. I might have to look into the idea of 100lbs mono leaders though for the spring pike and musky run.
