Dutch01 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'm sitting beside my favorite Kawartha lake right now. So far only about a 5# pike but it's just getting dark. Good luck to whoever else is out there fishing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch01 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Slow night... Hit two spots, got one 14" walleye after the pike. It was still good to be out. Now I'm dreaming of early ice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McCutcheon Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Canal, Mitchell, Balsam, and I've heard of a few being caught in Rice too. All of the above as well as the Ottonabee River, Little Lake, Cameron and Sturgeon Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Dan, we haven't had any ice here on Erie for 2 years. The 2 bad years before that were the first ice we had for years. The water was so cold the Perch were in 30 feet of water. Couldn't get to them that far out. The pressure cracks looked like mountain ranges and the pack ice on the shoreline was over 15 feet high in most places for a mile out. Most outfitters in Long Point Bay have packed the business in. Nipissing for me this January. First time on the ice in 12 years. I can't wait, I can't believe I said that. edit: only FishFarmer went that far out.

Tjames09 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Sorry to say, but the answer is yes. Hmm never seen a Pike on Sturgeon yet. What part of the lake has Pike, the north end by Fenelon Falls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McCutcheon Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hmm never seen a Pike on Sturgeon yet. What part of the lake has Pike, the north end by Fenelon Falls? Not sure where it was caught, but I believe it was closer to Fenelon Falls. Which also makes sense. It probably migrated through from Cameron. Having said that, it may have been anywhere on Sturgeon. I have heard, but have no confirmation of Pike in Scugog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McCutcheon Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Good thoughts, but please make sure that what you are killing and keeping is a Pike. Juvenile Muskies and Hybrids look a lot like a Pike. A lot of casual anglers still don't know what they are looking for to distinguish a Muskie from a Pike, let alone at the juvenile stage. Seasoned anglers like yourself and other tournament anglers, have a much better idea regarding fin shape, patterns and submandibular pore count. Myself, I fish mainly for Muskies except in the hot dog days of summer when the water temps get above77-80 deg., then I will go after walleye and bass.

I always refer to pore count as the definitive idendity of a esox species Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
