hotsky Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 I tried the Harbour twice in the last week hoping to catch pike which I thought would be moving in ready to spawn but no luck. Anyone had different resaults? or they're not there yet?
JoshS Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 It's a late spring, haven't noticed them move right in yet. They're still in late winter mode and deeper however they'll probably be moving in really soon now.
fishing Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) They are around. Edited March 27, 2013 by fishing
hotsky Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Posted March 27, 2013 Well if they are they are getting better at avoiding my baits.
Locnar Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 I was wondering the same for the Whitby Harbour. Been down there probably 5 times in the last couple weeks... not even a hint of anything being in the water.
fishing Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) As far as I know, at least 6 pike were caught the past weekend. Edited March 27, 2013 by fishing
ehg Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Just a heads up that pike closes midnight Mar 31. and opens again 5 weeks or so later on Lake Ontario and harbour waters.
Locnar Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Not my harbour... it falls under zone 17. Open all year.
highdrifter Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Water temps are still a little cold for pike to be in the shallows, but they are inching their way in. Look for drop offs and edges adjacent to entrances of the shallow bays that you know pike will congregate to when they're on the spawn. Got one last night just as the sun was setting. She came up from about 15-20ft of water. cheers HD
