Got out to another new lake today and had some great action.
I've been driving over this lake for several years on my way to other lakes and have never fished it..........until today.
Todays target would be pike, and I had been told that this lake was a goodun'.
Well I was not disapointed. We pulled onto the lake and picked out a fishy looking spot and drilled 1/2 dozen holes covering water from 6 to 15 FOW and dropped baits. It didn't take long before I got my first fish of 2011, a decent 30 incher.
Shortly after this on I got another an inch or so shorter and then a few little guys.
But the big ones were lurking as I had one attack one of the small ones I landed. My buddy managed this nice 36 incher as well as several in the 24 to 30 inch range and a bunch of smaller fish.
I got a bunch in the 24 to 30 inch range as well as a couple of 40 inch class brutes.
This big girl came on a tipup in the first hour of the day.
And this leviathon came later in the day on a dead sticked ciscoe on a quick strike rig.
She taped out at about 44 inches.
Got plans to hit this spot again real soon.
