hey gang

 

I'm looking to get out for some pike soon, and have a trip to the 1000 islands area (out of Gananoque) planned for June so I've been gathering some gear to target pike. I alread have some x-raps and williams spoons and I just grabbed some more gear (pic attached). I was wondering if you guys have any other recommendations on gear to grab. Lure recommendations and also... probably more importantly, landing and handling equipment.

 

this is some of the stuff I just bought

 

the gear i just bought

 

thanks alot

I am by no means experienced on the St.Lawrence, and I'm sure there are some on here who will point out a couple lures you shouldn't be without...if I were headed out there I'd have a couple deep divers -- whether they be Tail Dancers, or deep diving X-raps, or whatever...something with a bigger lip that will crack the 15' mark in case the pike are hanging out down there.

And Mepps just came out with a heavier Aglia #5...I think it's called the Aglia Long...it has a smooth body instead of the beaded aglia, and weighs 7/8 oz. Nice and heavy for longer casts and deeper retrieves.

Best of luck!!

I wouldn't use the Red Wolf products myself- poor quality in my opinion. A couple of real 'devles would be better.

I wouldn't go for Pike now without a couple of Rapala X raps, a white spinner bait and a sluggo or something similiar to dead bait.

nice, thanks for all the replies

 

looks like i'll be heading out for some white spinnerbaits and some landing/handling stuff.

i do have 30lb, 12" wire leaders, will these be heavy enough, or should i move to some heavier wire, or some fluoro leaders?

 

we'll be on the houseboat the 3rd week of june (leaving the area on the bass opener...next yr the ladies wont be setting the dates) hope we can get into some fish!

 

thanks again

heres another tip tie all your landing gear,pliers, jaw spreaders to the boat pike have a tendency to go for round 2 once u try to unhook them lost a few sets of pliers and spreaders due to thrashing.if your like me and dont use nets watch your fingers on the gill rakers.this year we are bringing a cradle with us on our trip to use on the big girls.good luck hope ya get slimed.

Get any closer and you will be knocking on my door. First off, there are no pkie in the Larry, I proved that last night in the wind storm. :wallbash:

 

Here's what does work in these waters. An HJ14 Rapala Husky Jerk (5.5 inches), in Tenn. shad. A Reef Runner deep diver in white. White spinners, along with black and red hair jigs. These have been my best productive lures so far. I wash many, but these are what produce.

 

Good luck, and have fun.
