Default Great First Day of Spring.........

First day of spring huh, didn't feel like it, lol. Got out for a couple hours today. Knew the river was up so I left the boat home and tried some shore spots. First spot yielded a nice 34" on a bait fish, Nice!!! After a while I decide to move on.

First cast at my next spot was a snag that cost me the last of my bait. Decided to throw on a spinner see what happened. Sure enough I hooked up with another decent pike in the 30" range. Followed it right up to point where his back was out of the water and nailed it, then decided to bloody me up!!

Best outing I've had in a couple tries so, yeah, I'm def happy its spring lol........

Nice! These guys will hit in the higher water, just need to be more selective with spots!

Nice healthy looking fish. That section of water looks no bigger than the Millstone river by me that is also stocked with Pike.
