More pike tails and tales

[kickingfrog]

Well, after having to take a week off fishing thanks to some domestic Montezuma's revenge my brother and I were back at it this week.

 

We were all over the pike again with the suspending husky jerks getting most of the attention, although I did get a couple on x-raps. The biggest difference was that my brother didn't get any hits on top-waters. He usually has a couple of swipes at least from the pike on top but nothing this time. No big ones but lots of action to keep us busy. Two musky follows but no contact. We each lost a hard fighting fish while trolling.

 

Edit to add: My brother saw a gar as well but couldn't generate a strike.

 

 

 

 

 

On the drive home the topic of a fins and feathers fall trip north came up... as spring ends, we're already thinking of fall.

Nice report. Good pics

Don't remind me of bird hunting just yet. I see those ruffed buggers nearly everyday, taunting me... earlier in the spring actually attacking me.

I'm sure you'd have lots of volunteers to help you with those unruly grouse.
