Went fishing...caught a fish....awesome!

[limeyangler]

Hi all,

The wind last night really did a number on the ice in front of the house and our bay is almost completely open water.

So with half an hour before i had to go to work (night shift) Jack and me went for a cast for a pike. I bought some GIANT minnows that morning for bait and was confident we could hook into a big Pike.

Well we played around in the forest and threw sticks for the dog and with only five minutes left before i had to head off for work the rod tip registered a bite, I struck, and landed a pike almost the same size as the bait it apparently inhaled.





ICE OUT IN FULL SWING NOW













WE SET UP THE ROD










PLAYED WHILE WE WAITED FOR A BITE














AND WERE REWARDED WITH A SMALL PIKE

Really liked this little report.

Your dog chasing the pike at end of video is great.

You will have the boat out soon, nice video

Roloff does seemed a bit perplexed as to where the fish went. Great to see some open water up there for you finally Simon. Should have the boat in by the weekend.

Haha funny vid near the end. Nice report LimeyAngler. Pikes really light in colour. At least to me.

Thanks man. Yup, the lake we are on is like chocolate milk in color, all the fish are very pale color because of that.

Great stuff Simon. Roloff seemed to want a bit more play time with the pike!

Great shots of the wee lad Simon. Nice that spring has nearly arrived in the north.
