hungryforpike Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hello all, small group of us are eager to break in some new gear and are heading to Lake Dalrymple this weekend and are looking for some pike. First time I have ever fished this lake, we are going "guide free", we are fishing from a boat..and I have no clue where to start looking. I have a map of the lake..so please drop me some intel!! Thanks guy, HFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Be warned the lake is down so be very careful going down the channel. Idle only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 The channel has fish too, I was there last weekend and saw 2 nice pike being landed (you'll probably have better luck out deep though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipefighter Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 First dalrymple trip I'll never forget mine and my dads first big weekend fishing trip when I was young (well maybe). We had a great time decent amount of fish caught I caught a huge pike (if memory severs me right) took a bunch of pics and cleaned them , cooked them . We discovered the last night that my dad forgot to put the film in the camera. So it's obviously years later its still the ongoing joke even with digital cameras "is there any film in the camera ". I caught this pike around a peninsula that's all I can remember Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobowski Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I am not familiar with the water that you speak of but geneally speaking this time of year I usually target Pike in shallow bays where the water temperature is a little higher then other parts of the body of water.

hungryforpike Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 last time I was there we caught over 25 pike (2 guys, 1 day)...I think you'll find them This all sounds very reassuring, will spend time in the shallows as oppposed to deep water then and see what we can come up with. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate. HFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 ....sorry, forgot to mention the total weight for the 25 fish was 26 pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
