LOL I wouldn't say I am on THAT level yet, but I do have a good 4 or 5 spots from Bloomfield Ave. to below Dundee Dam to Belleville that are usually free-of-da-skunk. The kayak has helped, but I have a few spots from land that almost ALWAYS produce at least some nice Smallies. Bing maps and Google maps ARE YOUR FRIEND! Lots of paddling without catching fish, internet research, exploring, trespassing, making fishing buddies and definetly a lot of luck lol. These Pike frustrated the crap out of me for a while til I figured them out. They are a challenge, yet a badass fish to catch and land.

Glad I inspired you to pick up a yak though! Got in it for less than $250 and so far still under $400 with my modifications, you can't beat that for all the fish that have ended up flopping around in the bottom of it!
