splashhopper Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Been a very slow season for me this spring due to a torn rotator cuff ... Could get out till three weeks ago.. I totally missed the trout season this spring Had to switch gears and try pike fishing... I don't have any buddies that fish for these fish, so I have been searching on line as best I could to find out about habitats and fishing techniques. Went out along the inner tribs of Lake Huron last weekend and finally got in to some... Started by "meditating with the fish"...lol And then as I was getting my mind real quiet.. .whammo on a red devil Here is another shot of it... ( I forgot my OFC sign in the van ) I am taking my buddy back up with me tomorrow, but this time with a canoe to see if we can fish em outa the weeds across that river in the first pic. Oh,,, and least I forget.... I lost 5/6 spinners and lures in all over the weekend.....is that just the cost of fishing for Pike due to the habitat they seem to like ?

spinnerbaitking Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 They have a single hook that allow it to slide over or threw most tangles and rocks, they work great for trolling behind a canoe if water conditions make it hard to fish, I will troll a spinnerbait when ever I'm moving if I'm not casting on local rivers, I have gave lots to kids on our trips and they have caught pike, bass and musky on them. Just watch the weight 3/8oz to 3/4oz ussually Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
