bassmaster4 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Went piking on the grand with my dad yesterday. Got there at about 7:20 and started to fish. We were shore fishing with a medium minnow under a bobber. The spot we were at did not produce for 3 hours so we decided to move on to another spot. This spot had rather fast moving water and did not look very promising. But it beat the alternative, the spot we were at previously that had many snags by the way. We fished there for about an hour and seen some guy catch a nice walleye about 5 pounds. He then caught 3 pike and left. We saw he was using no bobber just bottom fishing with a minnow so we tried it. On my first cast i hooked into a decent pike 19", took the hook out and back he went. About a half hour later my rod almost flew in i picked it up in time and set the hook on a 18" we took this one home for the pan. 18 incher No more than a minute later i hooked into another one. This one had a lot of energy it peeled some drag and jumped out of the water a couple of times which i have never seen a pike do. My dad landed her for me and threw her back in. An hour passed and nothing even nudged our bait but just as i was reeling in i felt some weight on my line and set it just in case i got a few head shakes and he broke off. 10 minutes after that my dad gets one this one turned out to be the biggest at 20.5 inches we also took this one home. 20.5 incher My dad recasted his line and hooked into a pike i began to reel my line in so i could land it for him and i got one on it was a double header. My dad ended up losing his but i landed mine a 17" pike. She went back in as well. We were on our last minnow and i had another hit it got off and i was done. My dads rod began to shake and he set the hook this one was a small 15 incher and he went back in. What seemed like it was going to be a rather bad day turned out to be one of our best this season so far. We got home and fried the pike in some bread crumbs. I'm going to head back in a couple of weeks and give it a try once again. Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
