Where the Pike at?

[Big Burk]

I was fishing Echo today and caught 10 burbots in 10 FOT. I was told that pike would be there but all we had all day was burbots. Where should i go fishing tomorrow on Echo for the pike?

One place where I know there will be Pike is on Mission at Lebret,about 1/2 way between boat launch and opposite shore-that's the river bottom leading to Katepwa. In past years we have gone out there at this time of year and done really well with Pike. A WORD OF WARNING-please be careful there is strong current under there and this is an unusual year,as you will see the river between the two lakes is open and I would check the ice thickness very carefully out there. Ice conditions can change quickly so don't rely on someone's experience from last week as it may be different today-I don't want to sound like I'm preaching here but, at the same time I don;t want to send you into a dangerous situation.(you will have to walk out from shore).

burbot are fun to catch but i released them all and final count for the weekend was 12 burbots and 3 perch (kept the 14incher ) i was gonna try to fillet them but then i thought it over and im gonna hae to wait till open water(i have no clue where they are or what to use ) and cant wait till next november when the ice forms . gonna have a big-ol burbot supper . my hardwater season is done for the year unless i can find a way to skip school and get a ride (snowmobile is a no go cause the snow gone ) and does anyone know somebody with a shanty named "Pickeral Shack" that was on Echo last weekend and the weekend befor that? just wondering i was fishin with/by him and an older guy that walked out i didnt ask his name nice ol' guy. 3 strangers fishing together where else can something like that happen when you can talk and have a good time. next year i gotta find some fishing buddies from Echo lake got 2 friends pretty much converted to hardwater except one has had bad luck(loseing the fish at the top of the hole ) and the other one is in hockey. summer is definatley the time that i spend fishing with my buddies. in the winter its solo or with some ppl that i met on the ice earlier or just met. small world
didnt mean to ragg on but the site is slowing down so much i had to put something up
till May 6 i will be getting the gear out and ready for 12am and fish the first possible moment i can
srry raggin on again
