First Spruce Run Pike....

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.

I don't get it!! You guys all do well on spruce run but when I go there I get skunked 3 times last yr I'm scarred to even take the ride there lol but I have to redeem myself one day on that lake!!

To be honest, its not a great place. Plenty of panfish to be sure but gamefish are hard to come by but this is not unlike most large, popular waters. In all honesty who out there ever gets their limit of bass (or any other gamefish for that matter) at such places? Not many. Its like if you get one or two keeper-size you've had a great day. This is why I toss around small lures hoping for anything. I'd rather catch 50 sunnies & perch than 1 bass anytime!

Great catch on the 4lb test. The Pike are in a frenzy this time of year. Nice mixed bag as well.

Nice catch! I hear u on the boat traffic. Some idiots flipped a rental boat while messing around. I think their 9.9 sank to the bottom.
