highdrifter Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 G'day folks, Soo.. In lieu of a postponed tourney for shall we say a more glamorous fish, I decided I'd put some dings on the baitcaster and join the ol boyz for some long awaited piking!! Lucid and Hillrat are my usual partners in carnage but since saturday had been checked for other things, they had made plans to fish with Gerrid from his boat.. No biggy, it just meant that I could deviously get there earlier and work some virgin water!! I told them I'd catch up with em later. Surprised myself.. Got up extra early and had my waders strapped on for 7:30 freaking AM!! Here's some solo pics, human tripod style. First feisty lady fish. On the way to the bay... Fishing only really starded heating up around noonish, when we had some good cloud cover.. This one hit like a freighter!! Another.. Nothing huge, but real good to feel those pike takes again. C'mon darling.. dance for me.. OOOHHHH! Burd Island.. Alot sparser since the last time I was here. Stink was still there though! Gerrid with a noice Toronto gator.. The better fish of the day. Doug (Lucid).. We hit a little slicker weather! Today's choice of crank.. A lucky craft tenesse shad live pointer. I'm starting to think clown and firetiger is no longer a staple in their diet.. I didn't switch up once! Big thanks to Gerrid for letting me hop into his boat.. It was certainly welcome after spending 4 hours waist deep in 47degree water! Hope you enjoyed. cheers HD ps: Mepps wha happen?!
pigeonfisher Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 You guys did well. Nice to see some folks sharing a ride with a wader. It must have been cold. Those fish have great colour at this time of year.
Jigger Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Me fait plaisir Phidal. Anytime man. We had lots of follows and short strikes on board until you brought that first monster in the boat , too bad we didn't get a pick of that one! If we had made the appropriate changeup earlier, I'm sure we could've converted those fish that were lure-shy. Good to see you guys again, but next time, maybe we can avoid the turbulence at the end of the day. That wasn't any fun. (Jigger)" Guys, I think maybe we should put the lifejackets on...", (Lucid) " I was just thinking the same thing..." C'est la première fois que je voyais mon nom écrit en ce maniere. Quelle surprise!
rbaquial Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Great Pictures!! Sounds like you boyz had a blast! I'm heading out tomorrow with a old College buddy... hopefully we'll land a few! Definitely make a post if we get any! Thanks for sharing!
b2kptbo Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Some nice Pike, like that jump picture, pays to get out there...
ccmtcanada Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Beauty pics! Great shot of that one jumping out of the water!

Quelle surprise! 5 more seconds after that 6ft monster hit man .. I would have screamed and said: "There's no freaking way we're gonna make it.. Might as well wait it out and fish!!" Notice how Lucid kept adjusting his floater strap?! Pretty hairy stuff! How should I write your name jiggar?!!
Joey Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Some beauty pike there Fidel, way to go. Lookin good Joey
ben306 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Nice work. Love the colours in these Canadian Pike, no where near as 'muddy' coloured or dull as the UK fish I get there on Wednesday so I might have to bend your ear for some pointers when I get out myself.
MCTFisher9120 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Great pictures man, glad to see you did very well out there!
Paulus Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Great pics & report. Those are some healthy looking pike, and that action shot is awesome! Thanks for sharing, mon morveux! p.-
MJL Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Dude! That's awesome! Great report and pics. Those are super fat fish. That action shot of the pike jumping is worthy of being in a fish-porn calendar of some sort.
ehg Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Being out there at that spot in a boat, at this time of year, is absolutely the best T.O piking. Congrats on the success! Great report, ehg
solopaddler Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 The aerial shot of the pike is very cool. Nice shootin' bro!
mattyk Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 some nice pics, especially with the pike in the air!
Leecher Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Great report and pics Fidel Moi aussi j'ai aimé le pic avec le brochet qui saute hors de l'eau!!! Super cool Ces brochets ont tous de très belle couleurs... ils ont l'air en très bonne santé Merci de partager cette belle journee avec nous Keep up the good work! Jacques
