Good report! Headed up Friday thru Monday as well with two buddies if interested in fishing together.
They eat halis and spikes but they run small on scroon they are ****censored word****ing paved usually in the narrows around the channel
Heading up Friday. Don't have a machine so will be hoofing it. Can anyone tell me how the ice is and how much snow cover. Reall y appreciate it. Long ride up to not get out. Thanks and good luck!
Any trophy sized pike caught yet?
where the pike in the narrows?
Only a 36” and a 40” that I know of never got weights saw both fish, tho was laker fishing close and heard the hoots and hollers and went over to check it out when 6 guys are around one hole and then all screaming with a fish as half as long as them you know it’s decent!
They keep the 40”?
yup sadly both gaffed
Darn. I hate thAt. Isn’t gaffing illegal here, in Essex county?
We gaffed a 42 " pike once on ice in Essex county. It was an awesome day. There are good populations in many larger bodies of water that's totally underutilized. To harvest and consume a fish is sportsmanship. To kill a fish just for the purpose of skin mounts is more self serving. If you are a c&r fisher more power but it's a game harvest sport. Bow fishing carp is gross too
Was out Tuesday saw one ATV near boat launch, anybody see any machines making it out in the deep snow to in the middle of Lake, between Clarks Island and Grove Point ?
Thought I saw tracks out there yesterday, but not sure. I'll check today.
Hey, I’m guilty for skin mounts in my younger years, however with his replica mounts are today, I have changed my outlook towards keeping trophy’s... I get it’s to each their own kinda thing. I don’t have a problem with it....I agree with you on the number of them in Essex... for sure there is a crazy amount of 40”+ pike trolling these waters... but if they are being kept at 36, 40”, etc, how are they gonna reach that 50” mark I plan to get too😂
I'm definitely a freezer filler. See, we raise, grow and harvest our foods instead of buying chemical laced store bought. This is just 1 of our 4 full sized freezers.
