Using large pike/musky lures for pike before musky opener

Grey Wolf, thanks for the pic, that's a big piece of plastic.

Whether or not they will hit the baits wasnt even part of the question. Everybody's so quick to bash pike and praise musky.. muskies are joky little pansies who die after you reel them in. Stupid is the fish that fights itself to death, i'd say.

 

 

HaHa! Musky bashing.

 

Big difference between pike and musky is that musky are poor table fare.

Have caught plenty of musky while jigging for walleyes. Once one died so i kept it.(back when size limit was 36 inch in Kawarthas).

Gave it to cottagers nearby. They had fish fry with bass, walleye and said musky. Everything was great except the musky which i slipped to my dog under picnic table.

So they're really good for nothing then, kill em off and stock carp.

Little pike might be stupid(overly aggresive)

But the big ones can be pretty crafty.

Got some lunker pike (at least 4 40"+) this year using great big flashy spoons (silver bronze combo seemed most productive)... I believe they were *' or more ... anyways whatever ...big as they come ... just get out there and enjoy !

 

By the way I have caught plenty of smallies at 40 feet over 100 feet of water while fishing for lakers with "Monsters-only-please" sized baits ... go figure
