Mike the Pike Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Well after yesterdays miserable day rain and rain and more rain I found an open window of dry weather. Was going to fish the St.Lawrence in Roy's back yard when the winds picked up big time Plan B was a little better so I decided to go to my favorite River for Pike.The winds were strong but I did manage to find areas sheltered from the wind.After I launched the boat I soon realized I should have stayed home the whole river had turned into Chocolate Milk . Not the clear water I had fished in with GlennK the week before. I went to some of my favorite Pike spots which did not produce the whole shore line was abundant brown coloured. Boat control was tough in heavy chop so I decided to head back to the marina and try some other top notch pike spots. At this point the chop was too rough for the electric motor so I just through in the anchor and we tried casting notta sniff Here are my 2 mates for the Day Ryan 9 and my Daughter Robin 11 unfortunately my 13 year daughter has lost all interest I have a new rule in the boat when casting with kids all on board must wear sunglasses or eyewear.Spent $20 on my Daughters sunglasses but better to have protection against flying treble hooks.Daughter was happy listening to Kelly Clarkson on the stereo. Fishin was tough so my son says lets troll so we did Trolling produced this little snot rocket Robin's first ever Pike.Caught on a bright pink Rapala X-rap Probably the only thing you can see in the chocolate milk. This weather has just turned the river into liquid poop.What a crappy spring. While my red neck friend in Alabama enjoys 81F surface temps we registered a balmy 58F. That was it one little snot rocket but my girl was happy. Very long house boat something like the ones on Lake Temagami. Thats me old skunk face. On the way back we were listening to Kiss Shout it out Loud. They were singing there version Charmin.We had a good laugh. After a long day on the water why not enjoy a good Poutine and thats what the little ones ate right down to last Frie. Kids were checking out this guy while I packed up the boat. Fishing was crap weather was crap but we had some great family time together. Mike the Pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike the Pike Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Your daughter had sunglasses on and you didn't. Try sunglasses next time! My son had em too but he got nothing. Really the water was really stirred up .I would like to know how you have done with the Pink X-rap since you purchased it last summer. That pike was lucky I guess the pink lure stuck out in the poopy coloured water. MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nice report Mike, considering the conditions it was a miracle to get anything! Those waves did look a bit rough out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgk36 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Good report MIke. Sunglasses for the kids is a great idea. Sorry I got your PM too late to join in the fun. Probably just as well, though. High winds could have been too much for the 12' tinny, especially with Andrew in the boat. Will talk to you later in the week if the new ride shows up at the dealer.
