Default PR mixed bag

Got the chance to travel up north with the kayak on Friday. Water was a little high. Landed 5 largemouth, 4 perch, 2 pickerel and 5 pike. All the pike were small, biggest around 24in. Everything caught on spinners. Biggest bass was around 3lbs.

I was surprised to catch the number of largemouth I did. I had only ever caught pike and perch. I thought smallmouth were the dominant bass.

You are definitely right about smallmouth being the dominant bass in most of the river. However, I have definitely caught some nice largemouth in certain stretches though. I remember below the paterson falls catching largemouth with gashes in it or with weird looking mouths. Prob from falling over the great falls or from being attacked by a pike. Every largemouth was always solid though which means they were feeding well. I have gotten most of them on spinner baits or husky jerk rapalas.

I've caught a bunch of largemouth bass, pike, yellow perch but still haven't got a smallmouth.

Sounds like a great day on the river. Very cool to be catching such a wide variety of species like that.

I've found that you can often predict what you'll catch in the river depending on where you fish. Mostly smallmouth, but some areas do hold more largemouth. The pike and pickerel seem to be pretty much everywhere.

Wow, awesome mixed bag out of the PR! I've never seen a largemouth or YP in a little under 2 years living near it and fishing it. Still looking for a pike too, all i seem to catch out of it is smallies and crappies!
