Back in the water

[Skunk City]

For many of us, the end of the ice season is tough. What do I do now? Can I drag my sled onto the water? Can I still cast a rod? What do I do with all these Mousies? Fortunately, after tucking the Clam back into the garage til next year, I was able to get back into the swing of things pretty quickly. Been chipping away at the Pike for a couple weeks now in the high water. Horny, smaller males have definitely been more prevalent, but a few nice females moved in before the water dropped. Live 7"-10" Golden Shiners and slow rolled jerkbaits have been doing the damage. Hoping we get another blast of rain to bring things back up, but if not, the Big Lakes are where I will be headed next :).

Nice job rob!! I got out myself yesterday and landed two small pike and a perch. I actually saw a school of yellow perch in the river which I have never seen in this section before.

There is actually a pretty good population of Yellows in the river, just need to know where to look for them! Some of my biggest Yellows have come from the PR.
