Around July 08 on the spit on my main spot just past the bouy.
Using a minnow about 5" around 4ft under a bobber no weights, just let the fishy swim.
Hooked into about 3 this size over about 2 hours. Wicked fighting fish in T.O
After u hook into one take a seat and burn one as the fishing just dies for a while.
I personaly found throwing large rapalas blue and orange or green and orange work best but perhaps that cuase I like to move around?
On this day I had the sister with me so minnows seemed appropriate.
"They all get let go and it's very rare I take a pix so if I'm holding it wrong sorry but at least she got to live!"
About the Spit:
The red dots are the best spots I've found.
From N to south
The first is where the new power plant is going, salmon in the fall lots of pike but seems to have died right off last couple of years should come back once the plant is online.
2nd is my main spot for pike, big monsters, nice drop off about 10ft out that little channel running between the bays is a sand bar shallow 5ft. The closest bay is shallow lots of carp but not worth the time.
Stick to the second big bay with main access to lake O. Giant lures needed GIANT! Gobbys galore here no worms!
3rd is where I constantly see sheep head jumping, for sure there sheephaed I had to look it up, got nothing to help I still haven't figured these punks out and I dragged a bunch of minnows all the way out there & still just pike!
4th I rarely hit, during salmon season a lot of people there, access to very deep water and u'd be surprised how many people are actually on that point at the right time of year. But then again Ash bridges is 10x closer and just as good.
Hope that helps took me a good summer to get that much info!
