Missed Pike

So you're saying he caught the 42"?

Use to know a co-worker that had access there. Nice lake considering I was fishing off their dock and caught a few. The fishing community takes care of that lake in terms of hiring people to do samplings of fish and water quality.

Birdman,

I did see your buddy out there and you were right about where I was fishing. It's a nice deep tributary in there. Maybe I should have had live bait? Jigman, my buddy caught a 42" pike in the river a while back. I failed to say that sorry lol.

Icebadger,

7"2 foot shimano stellus rod and an okuma v-series reel.

Heard a 42.5" was caught in there in 2014.

I'm no pike expert but all of my pike so far have been caught on deadbaits that have been twitched after the pike swiped at my lure and missed. I scout the pike with a lure and if it doesn't connect, I switch to a deadbait such as smelt and twitch it slow near bottom and usually after a few minutes the pike will take it.
If you try it, let me know how it works for you.

Is Pines lake a public lake? Could one of you guys pm me....... I`d like to scout it out.

Thanks much -
