Fished from Sat afternoon the 23 thru Wed evening and fishing was fantastic to say the least!! Saturday afternoon around 1 we got the first line in and by 11 that night we'd iced 13 walleye and 18 pike including a 20+ pounder! In 4 1/2 days/nights of fishing, 3 of us iced 183 total fish not including the perch! Largest pike was 43" and 20+ pounds (entered in the tourney!), largest walleye was 28" and 8.5#, largest lake trout 31" and 12# and largest catfish was 8# (didn't get a length). We kept some walleye, pike and cats for the table but most were released to catch another day. One of the guys landed a 4# rainbow jigging and that was a first for us on Peck. Also wanted to mention that PK lures flutterfish in firetiger tipped with a minnow head worked extremely well on catfish and walleye!
Trip totals:
Walleye: 71
Pike: 92
Catfish: 16
Lake trout: 3
Rainbow trout: 1
Perch: Too many to keep track of
Ice was good the whole trip and would've stayed thru the weekend, but the 50 degree weather scared us off as the road to Macguire Creek can get a bit gnarly to say the least. We left early this morn when the road was still froze and didn't have any problems.
Here's some pics of the trip...

My father-in-law with a 9# pike
Proof that pike like big meals! That's a 6# pike that took an 8" sucker. The next pic below it is a 6" minnow that a 14" walleye had in it's mouth. Had to keep that one for the table...

Speared 9# Laker
Peck never seems to disappoint!
