msp Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 Spent quite a bit of time on the water last week. Fish didn’t come easy. A couple of skunkings on walleye, a broken trolling motor, many km and plenty of hours on the water. Finally found some active fish. Got them on a variety of baits with the big swimbaits and soft plastic jerkbaits getting most of the fish. They did not want the jerk bait at all for some reason. The new Minn Kota maxxum performed flawlessly. I should have got one long ago. Love the responsiveness of the cable rive 6
AKRISONER Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 Holy crap, very very nice. I’m still struggling like heck to find active fish. I had one window one morning and since then I can’t seem to get much consistency going at all. Interesting comment about the jerkbait, maybe I need to give the swimbait more of a dunk. Well done!
kickingfrog Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 Our pike fishing has been slow as well. We put it up to the wet cold spring in these parts. Also unusual is we've not caught any fish over 33 inches but at the same time we've only caught one hammer handle. Just about all out fish have been on husky jerks (14cm) but that is our goto bait so it also gets used the most.
misfish Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 Thats some real healthy fish there. Love the deep green colors. Well done.
scuro2 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 Nice to see the spring pike posts. That damn winter is over!
chris.brock Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 Looks like you guys persisted and got some biggies. Beauties! Telly forgot to tie his draw string, lol.
Hack_Fisherman Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 Sweet mutha, those are some great fish. They don’t make them like that around here!
AKRISONER Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 Gave the big white paddle tail a dunk this afternoon and success! Got my first half decent fish of the season. Thanks for the tip!

Maybe more spread out because the Great Lakes are big, but there are absolute monsters around. Craziest one, have you seen the pike coming out of lake O right in Toronto?
JoshS Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 Nice buddy! We didn't make it back out. Might do some local during the week next week. Hopefully you get back out this weekend.
Sinker Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 Nice fish man! You certainly have a knack with them water wolfs! S.
