HI Guys,

 

Heading back up to Gloucester Pool next week. Anyone fished there this season? How's the bite? Thanks Skdds

Much better than last year. Was there yesterday, caught a few LM and pike under 30" nothing big. I lost a few pike on spinnerbaits so might want to use a sharped trailer hook. Trebles were good but I was hooking too many weeds. Mostly used spinnerbaits, spoon trolling, caught nothing using plastic worms . Even managed to hook a gar pike (they were swimming in a group of 3) but was relived it got unhooked before landing it. Was not in the mood to deal with its crazy teeth. Swimming was good too. Tried looking for a public sand beach but nothing found so far.

Thanks for the reply, sounds encouraging! I've never caught a gar pike, that would be neat. I would not think that the pike would be so active with the warmer water...skdds

Fished a tournament there on Wednesday and the bite was real good. Too many pike around though lol.

Caught most of my fish flippin, but some on topwaters and crankbaits
