fish4me Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Well after working almost everyday the past 3 weeks except for 1 day, and seeing the monster pike some OFNers have caught just before the season closes, I was determined to get into some spring pike season this year. Off to the islands and started at Hanlans. LOTS of ice left still. Nothing, no follows just snagged some branches. Went to centre island and casted there mainly and managed to get one to my surprise and then another follow later, but I think it was the first fish only because it had a bad white gash on the back that looked familiar. Also it was weird because the fish took off one way, i went the other way down 40 feet and managed a follow from wha tI believe to be the same fish (must be hungry). Felt great to get my first spring pike on the largest husky jerk I had. Did manage to throw spinners, spoons, crank baits, but it was the husky jerks that worked the best today. Tried Wards and nothing. Still lots of ice in the channels so with the season closing soon, I look foward to when it opens up again. Lots of walking and casting, very tired now, but it was worth it. And yeah the water is freezing cold, the pike almost got away unhooked and I grabbed it by the tail before it had a chance, need to snap a quick pic for proof.... and here she is:
Jacques Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Nice fish! Perseverance pays off. Wish I could get out. Hard to believe there's still ice there with the weather we've been having....
PatrickGG Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Nicely done fish4me the ice looks thick maybe by the time pike re-opens it will be all gone.

Master of Bait Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Great fish buddy. Nice way to kick off the spring season...
snag Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Good job! That's where I caught my first T.O pike. The great thing about that pic is that the boats will be in the water soon and the location will be hard to identify.
Rich Clemens Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 THat's one beauty of a pike. Nice catch !
