Georgian Bay Moon River report from today

[Cast-Away]

I just got back from the Moon and had okay success. I went up there for Walleye and ended up with 3 Pike and no Walleye. The Walleye were still spawning up stream although we did have one follow up to the boat. I suspect that the minnows that I was sold were too large at 3 to 4 inches in length.

 

The pike were in the 3 to 5 pound range and all caught in 9 feet of water with Repelas. There was also no wee growth on the flat that we were trolling over.

Thanks for the update.

 

I'm planning a canoe trip there at the end of the month.

 

Were all the pike caught on the minnows?

 

Thanks,

Cast-Away I doubt if the minnow size was the problem. I don`t fish for walleye often anymore, but prefer minnows 4 to 6 inches long for them and have had them take bigger ones up north. They may have been more focused on spawning activities than feeding.

Nice outing Cast Away. Like Paul says...not an issue of minnow size.

 

..and did anyone tell you we like pictures?

Sorry, I did not bother with pics because they were pike. My Brother-in-law had me take one of him and a fish only.
