bigugli Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Late fall bank fishing has always been fairly steady down here in Niagara. I've fished shoreline til February in some warm years. Always manage some perch and pike. I've had one really big pike grab my perch a couple of times now. These are 9-10 perch he's grabbing, and this pike looks to easily be 4x as large. Even got it up to the dock, once, before he spit the perch. Sure messed up the perch. Close up These shore spots will dry up soon enough once the perch move out onto the flats beyond casting distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglyfish Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 might be a good idea to toss on a live target perch and see if u can get that pike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 could it be a musky instead of pike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 could it be a musky instead of pike? I was thinking the same thing... Musky slice like that... Pike bite marks aren't usually that clean... And there are some serious musky in the niagra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I was thinking the same thing... Musky slice like that... Pike bite marks aren't usually that clean... And there are some serious musky in the niagra... Had the typical spots of a pike white on dark green. There are some big pike, as well as muskie, in the region's waterways, and this was not the Niagara R. I've had a few, clean deep, pike slices from big pike in my time. 6 stitches the one time. Another time we were back in the bush so we duct taped them shut. By the time I was back to a doctor they had sealed up nicely Edited January 2, 2012 by bigugli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
