Great Report! Thanks


Nice looking pike.
Cant avoid the Bass hitting .... going to happen alot.


Just smile and release and everything is AOK.

I caught my largest Bass last year while going for the Pike as well.

Was a huge 6-7lbs large mouth.



Broke my tip on Sunday as well.

Going to try and get an exchange (Ripping the house apart looking for the Receipt) *SMILES* or in the worse case scenario, repair it.



See yah out on the water!

Nice report and fish. We ended up waxing the boat today and are headed there tomorrow afternoon for some action. Hopefully they are still biting. Were you on east shore?

if your rods are made of graphite ...do not use in the cold as the graphite becomes brittle and the tips break when you load them up in the cast or heat of battle....
get an ugly stick with fiberglass tip or an old fiberglass rod...to use in cold weather...save the graphite for warmer weather.

We didn't find the crappie on Sunday but had a blast catching huge sunfish non-stop. We also saw two muskies spawing. They were about 15 lbs each. Really nice to see that. I tried to get a picture of them but camera is not great seeing into water. Hopefully it won't be as cold today with less wind. The pike you caught looks really fresh and hasn't been spawing yet as there are no marks on him. You can buy rod tip ends to glue onto the end of the rod at Canadian Tire. I have used them with some success.
