Patriots Day Pike and Bass

[NorthJerzyG]

Finally got my motor running again so, since I was off I decided to take it for a test drive. Hit the water by a 11 and luckily, the motor held up nicely, other than only having 4 of 5 speeds, lol.

First hour yielded a small pike and a BIG smallie that fought like a tough guy. After that the fishing really picked up. Over the next 2 hours I battled 3 25"+ fish, landed 2 and one did a self release boatside. First one actually made it easy on me and JUMPED into the boat!!!

For the last hour I managed another small pike and a dink smallie and called it a day. Off the water by 3. All in all, a great Patriots Day fishing mission. Last but not least, I would just like to say THANK YOU to ALL those that serve!!!!!!

Way to get those toothy ones!!!!.....A beautiful week to get on the water for sure!!!

You couldn't be more right. Extended periods of high pressure get the fish pretty active. I threw the kayak on my car yesterday and probably won't take it off until it rains .
