Shorefishing with the creww=

[limeyangler]

Hi all,

 

Had a one hour session from shore this morning with the whole crew, BIG minnow on a floating jig nabbed the only pike, did briefly try a husky jerk with no takers.

 

Everyone got involved and it was a fun morning till rain stopped play and we headed back to the house for hot choc and marshmallows...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Thanks for the replies folks

 

 

I hate you, Simon.

 

For real.

 

Ok, not for real.

 

But maybe a little.

 

awww come on.....lol

 

 

awesome , looks like everyone is having fun !

 

Yah...the dog is even enjoying the water more now that it does not freeze internal organs on contact!

Hey Si, no i dont. I tried it once and it was ok its just that the wife is not keen on it. I dont like freezing fish simply because i dont really need to....and i would have way to much fish for one sitting if i harvested pike. I sometimes only harvest half my limit of walleye as thats more than enough to feed us...and if i have left overs there are far more takers for walleye than pike.

 

ahhh man I love your reports...

Thanks Rick...he is super observant...as are most 3 year olds...dont miss a gosh darned thing!

 

 

Did you catch that pike on a bare jig head with no leader?

 

yes and no. Yes i had no 'wire' leader if thats what you mean....dunno why but i rarely get bit off using the 17lb flourocarbon leader, and no because the jig is only bare because it scarfed down a 6" live, tail hooked dace minnow.

Thanks Will......hopefully Jack can emulate the feats of the amazing multi-talented angler that is the G-Man!

 

 

Jack sure does love that "paddle" stick!

 

 

Lol...yeah...we have to insist he leaves it at home now too...he wants to take it to town....to daycare...shopping....lol...he definitely loves it alright.

I think some day i will get round to making/buying/stealing a smoker...then everything will be thrown in at least once just to see what its like.

The more oily the fish the better....White Fish is #1....then salmon/trout and Pike is very good also.....this year I will be trying smallmouth from Erie and see how it comes out. If it's not good I will gift it to my youngest son....LOL....he like anything that's free (my favorite four letter word...and his too)...LOL

Love these Jack reports, Simon. They always remind me of : "You can learn so much from the face of a child. Especially the mouth part of the face."

 

Thanks for sharing your adventures.
