Toronto and GTA, PIKE Report

[snag]

Hey Y'all,

 

I'm a loser.

 

It's rather frustrating. I would have more to show if I used a net but I don't like to use them.

Being a shore angler, I don't need the extra weight.

No excuses here. I lose a chunk of catches in high elevation areas and poor hook-ups that get off as I attempt to hand-land them. I have accepted being a loser for the comfort of less accessories.

 

Luckily, marriage has conditioned me to accept crushing disappointment on a semi-regular basis.

 

 

These catches were had on the way to work, lunch and homebound.

I don't fish on weekends.

They are from last week and a bit, (as you'll notice by the lighter clothes in some pics)

 

I have not been very successful as of late. Time is limited.

 

Lotsa dinks like this have plagued me

 

I love water shots (before I screw things up and lose them like a king bonehead extraodinaire)

HJ chartreuse

Storm jointed

 

Surprise November LM caught on a spro almost as big!

 

 

Only pike were invited

 

Can't wait to see this dude in March!

Nice tail

Wonder if they've ever worked under the table?

Thanks,

my best days last year where January on Erie, ice was in, then melted, the pike fishing exploded for like 2 weeks, I got like 40 fish or more in 3 outings

Great report and pics SNAG

 

Nothing wrong in catching small pikes..... loads of fun when the biting is on

And for the net..... I never leave home without it

 

Great job and thanks for sharing

Who cares if you didn't get the pikie in your hands. If you got it to the shore or ledge, got to see it before it shook off, good enough for me. Water shot is even better. WTG

 

Thanks for the porn. That turns my crank for the day.

Snag... You're not a looser.. I'm sure your mom thinks your cool. Your wife on the other hand.. well.. she prolly thinks you're a dingus.

 

Noice juans mang.

 

You gonna post that incidental from today?

 

cheers

Perhaps your inconsistency in landing those bad boys is directly attributable to your choice of footwear? They see those office loafers and they bolt for the high seas because they figure you're going to subject them to the tedium of the mail room!

Things will mellow for awhile and then hopefully they'll be back to feed more.

I just wanted to show off the bigger ones I lost, that's what hurts!

Your new species report might come out next week when I have some time.

I might be a dingus but you proved today that you're....

Gullible

I think you're definitely on to something there Billy.

Perhaps if you were there with the net, like before, I wouldn't be such a whiner?

I think it looks good though HD and I tried today and failed.

They are deep and slow like a stoned poet,

Good luck pat!

Snag, as far as I can tell, you make up these amazing phrases outa whole cloth. That's some fine work there. Thanks to you, and to your muse too also.

[Greencoachdog]

Real nice report, pics, and fish!!!

 

Glad to see you're getting a bit of fishin' in!

 

Shold we ever meet, I can learn you how to take pics and get the whole fish in the frame... they look bigger that way, kinda like when they shave off yer pubes at the hospital!

 

... and if I should ever meet Snagelina, I'll be sure to tell her you said this:
