Six Mile Lake Report

[nomadfisher]

Sunday, Jun 3, 07... back to Six Mile Lake, one of my

favorites.

 

Been going there for years, but this time, I tried out a new bay that I had never been to.

 

Very productive...

 

I had always found it to be one of the most consitant lakes. There are quite a few areas

producing pike and bass.

 

 

I got there early evening and cruised around a bit. Hit the bay 'round 7:00pm and noticed

in 6 ' of water, large clumps of 'stand up' cabbage weeds.

 

Tossed in the Mepps Bucktail spinner ( bucktail spinners are probably my favorite pike presentation )

and had my breath taken away with a rapid flash of silver hitting the lure.

 

They seemed to be very active, and one went crazy when hooked. After three landed & released with a few

miscelaneous missed strikes later, I fooled around with some other baits. These included a 'walk the dog' jointed bait, large plastic jigs and various crank bait. None produced very well, with the large jigs only getting a couple of bass, promply released.

 

 

Returning to the bucktail I started a retreive, then let it sink into weed pockets like it was a jig. Following a deft, quick jerk, another pike hit.

 

 

I attached a pic of a typical fish. Since I haven't rigged up a cool camera jig like some of the guys and was fishing alone, the fish is dangling somewhat unceremoniously on the end of the rod.

 

 

 

 

Also got some pics of a heron fishing .

Thanks for the report. Thats a neat shot of the Huron diving for food. You must have a fast trigger finger.

Hey...nice report! Looks like the pike action was fast and furious! Good job on the Heron pics too!

[Rizzo]

nice report, and I'd agree about 6 mile. I used to fish there 15 years ago and it was quite reliable at that time too. Glad to hear it is still producing

That first heron shot is fantastic. Congrats on the pike too.
