Oh wow its still way down there.. Will be a while before it goes up. The warmth Friday should help lots..

The bay is probably quite a bit warmer than the main lake because many parts are only 10-12 ft deep but its definently colder than it should be for this time of year

I think springs delayed at least 30 days and giving we only started get April showers recently and may showers are looking to bring some storms .. Friday for example .. I'm predicting May 24 weekend we will see better temps ideal for pike on lake o. Then maybe we will see some pike photos in here... Let's see some more lure selection folks post up some pics

Hey Kit, I noticed you've mentioned Bannister and Wrigley Lakes before. I may try them for pike on Saturday.

 

[Kit]

I may join you if your going.. I may just go regardless if you are or not haha. Id like to see how the panners are coming along too.

 

[Kleiner]

Not sure when I'll have time Saturday. Kids have tball and I have to do some work at my rental property. Probably after supper some time. Maybe I'll see you there.

 

[Kit]

Okay Ill head there for 6-7.

Well me and Kleiner met up. Talked a bunch, great guy. Hope to wet some lines together soon. I got a hit from a small pike when my lure was close to shore but couldn't get the hookset before it took off. Thats my first little taste of pike this year haha.

Question,

When you see pike in the shallows just chilling, are they active feeders or are they not interested in feeding?

I saw one today but spooked it when I threw my jerkbait at it.... plus I think it already saw me because we were face to face.

I should've back tracked and creeped behind it.

pike will breed in the shallows .. but with colder temp there metabolisms slo down and they will have larger meals only and bite less often... or but maybe it was a female just protecting her nest! had you been using a soft plastic you might of got it..

had a couple hours in georgian bay area on the weekend with a friend. caught a few smaller fish
was using a small jighead with a big orange grub on it.. just casting off shore

eventually it led to this guy. not huge. and was a bit beat up. but he followed it right into within 3 feet of me then smashed it and ran out my line into some rocks.. i got snagged and thought i lost it but when i got the snag out he was still on and got him in

I went out today for some pike/carp action and when I got to my fishing spot.

Thousands of baitfish everywhere, I believe they were herring.

Skunked on pike again.

Every time I try to get my lure to swim by, the pike bolts and gets spooked.
