My Vacation Tackle Box - Part One - Georgian Bay Pike

[BillsTheBassMan]

Hello Folks,

 

I'm counting down to my week-long cottage rental on Sans Souci (Frying Pan Island) in Georgian Bay. The area is loaded with fish from Rainbow to Salmon (sparingly) to Lakers, Bass, Walleye, and apparently some Alligator Pike! I'm going to do a little series leading up to the trip of the selected weapons for each species. Those of you who have tackle suggestions, technique input, or general comments, feel free to share them!

 

 

(I'm having problems uploading the other two images - I'll try to add them shortly!)

seems like your all set. lol that wally diver is a killer!!

 

if i could recommend anything else it would be a few perch colored x raps, and maybe 1 or 2 silver x raps or husky jerks.

The Husky Jerks and X-Raps are in there - but they just didn't show up that well. My perch baits are shad raps of various sizes.

HJ 14 in Perch and glass, same with XR 10a ans 12s. This time of year, a larger Big O in Natural Crawdad wouldn't hurt. either. Good luck, it's a great place you're going to!

Some big ole pork trailers for those spinner baits

I need to get me one of those duckling baits, just to freak my fishing friends out.

That purple Minnow Rap on the right side is great for walleye in the deep water current..

[Dozer]

Yummy, looks like you've got a great arsenal. Those rapala slashbaits really move, I just picked up a couple and damn are they ever cool.

[SBCregal]

pliers and jaw spreaders!!

You really must be old

 

You know what, I'm going to give the pork rinds a try . . . all my pre-1985 fishing books rave and rave about the Pork Rinds.

I buy old tackle boxes loaded with lures from people and that little number was in the bottom of one - I have yet to fish it, but will give it a few casts for kicks.

Sweet, thanks. I love the perch patterns, they generally do really well for me. HJs are my favourite Rap, though it's close with the X-Rap.

lol better hope a mother duck doesn't try to adopt it..

What... pulling out a box full of live baby ducklings wouldn't freak 'em out?

Yeah

 

I knew the spinner section of my box is a little low, as I don't often go for Pike. I'll bite the bullet and get a few.

Williams Whitefish spoons - when trolled at the right speed so they are "thumping", big fish will absolutely smash them!

I'll second that. Trolling or casting.

Wana sell the duck ?

You can PM me with what you want to pay for it For at least another week, it is unfished!

 

Picked up a few more baits for the vacation, but denied the Williams Whitefish, as to me, it appears to be a Daredevil Spoon for $9.

Spoons are all you really need.

[Nipfisher]

Here is a few shots of some of my pike stuff. Not too many spinner baits. Mainly crankbaits and about 80% are Rapala.

 

 

 

 

 

These 2 shots are of spinners I had made for me. They'll get wet for the first time in the next couple of weeks.

 

 

 

 

Spoons are in another tray

[fish_fishburn]

A Johnson Silverminnow is a good choice as well. Also in shallow water around wood and rocks try a spoon and retrieve it really fast so the spoon is on the surface creating a nice topwater commotion. If there is big pike around the strikes will be violent.
