BillM Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Oldman and I hit the Maclean lake launch at 4:45am on Sat morning and made our way into Gloucester Pool. Launch is about 10 mins from my parents place so it's extremely convenient. We are slowly putting together a milkrun, week after week we try a different spot that looks good on the chartplotter and depending on the results, add it to the list of 'hot spots'. We've pretty much figured out a pattern, which doesn't make much sense but it seems to be working Hit up spot #1, landed a couple of small fish, but nothing to even break the camera out over.. End of spot #1 something missed my Zara Spook and left a big swirl... One cast back and it didn't miss, unfortunately it look leader and all. It was big... I am guessing a big pike, easily over 15lbs, but I only saw it's back and it was thick!!! 5 mins later I see my spook float to the surface..w00t!!! Big smile came over my face as I scooped it up with my rod tip. I am not even going to mention the word musky, cause if it was I'll be ticked! Hit spot #2 and immediately my dad got into a 3lb+ fish.. Then the heavens opened up and the rain came down in sheets.. Dawned the rain gear and kept at it.. I had a miss by a decent fish, then dad landed a nice pike about 5lbs right behind the boat. About 30mins later the rain stopped I landed one about 3-4lbs, and we continued on this spot, turned around and gave it another go. In about 19ft of water with decent weeds, a big old girl with a fat belly decided she was hungry and ate my spook. Almost a twin to the nice fish my dad picked up early, bit with a bigger belly came un just over 4lbs. All in all we caught about 10-15 or so, kept 4 + the pike. And one from last week.. notice the weather was a bit better, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Great Job Bill. (minus the yellow shorts) I'll wear those out when we go 'ski fishing :) We usually pack it in around 11am or so, boat traffic gets insane along with the jetski's.

mkeyes Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I have very fond memories of Gloucester Pool. I used to spend a week each summer up at O'Hara's. It was the only place that we ever caught gar pike, the kids didn't want to go swimming after seeing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
