More Kawarthas pike

[nlpaintballer]

Got out with a friend yesterday, and had Mitchell lake pretty much to ourselves for the day. On water around 7:30, and within the first hour I had a lot of action with 4 pike and a handful of stupid bass who couldn't see the heavy black wire leader.

My buddy, not so much action, had to wait til later on to remove the skunk later on with a few pike and aggressive bass. I couldn't stop the fish from hitting, even catching a 12" crappie when I switched lures, dropped it overboard and set my rod down to put away the previous lure and grab a drink. I notice my rods moving, pick it up, and I have a crappie on.

Finished the day with 8 pike between the two of us, including a 34.25" which was my last fish of the day and a bunch of largies all released including an 18-19". Left around 6:00 when it decided to just keep raining.

Spinnerbaits were the lure of the day, willow leaf, hatchet/fluted, and inline mepps in both natural and florescent.

 

All pike were kept and were delicious.

Thanks gusy, it was fun. I even got a 3 for 1. The big pike, his stomach looks distended because it had an 8" as well as a 5" crappie/sunfish/bluegill in it barely digested.

Looks like the pike have taken over Mitchell Lake.

Send the people of norfolk county to the kawarthas, give them a month they'll wipe out your pike.

 

Nice catch. Looks like a great day with tasty results!

Crazy how quick the pike took over. When I started on this board a few years ago pike in the kawarthas was just an ugly rumor!

[Rich Clemens]

Sweet. Two weeks from today, I start my season at Lakair. Can't come soon enough - I'm in the mood for some teeth

I've fished Balsam for years. 7 or 8 years ago pike were a rumor, maybe 3 years ago I got my first, now I get one every time and I'm usually using some serious sized baits not husky jerks or 3/8 ounce spinnerbaits!

Nice catches. Sounds like it was a fun day!
