First Spruce Run Pike....

...and it was a dandy: a solid 30" caught on 4lb test and a 1/16th oz spinner. Helluva battle on UL gear. It damn near took all my line(I only spool on about 70 yds). Otherwise a pleasant 3 hrs of fishing. Lots of panfish and few little bass. Res is too high for my liking though. Needs to be about 3 feet lower. I prefer wading the shallows and right now many spots are just too deep to get by.

Also found a large fish floating in the shallows. I'm guessing Hybrid Bass and a decent sized one.

Nice pike.

I saw a guy wading last night in the shallows between the pier and the next parking lot. Was that you?

Nope. Went today between 9 and noon. I normally avoid that place on weekends
'cause of all the boat traffic but I wanted to scout it out to see water levels and whether the weeds were up yet.

That must have been crazy on 4lb test.....Nice job on that for sure. Congrats on the first!

Nice fish. I was out doing the same thing in the yak. Only caught one nice bass and a bunch of little guys. Did run into a school of little wipers that were savage.They were hitting my lures dangling of the side of the yak. Almost lost a pole. Also lost 2 wipers after dark.
