Soft water Jan. pike

[msgdan]

Between work and this crazy weather, I haven't casted a lure or sat in my kayak in over a month. Yesterday, I started the morning with some post season deer scouting and then decided to hit the river. I was not able to launch my kayak in the area I wanted to launch, due to ice, so I kept the kayak on the car and walked about a mile through the woods to the spot I wanted to fish.

About the 5th cast, I had a good pike hooked for a few seconds before getting off (a little rusty and not sure if I even set the hook). About 15 minutes later, I landed a pretty good Jan. pike in the mid 20 inch mark. A good fight and a very healthy looking fish. I had one more strike after that in that area and then tried 3 more spots on the way back to the car without a touch.

PS....I don't know you guys fish while standing up !!!! I will take sitting in my kayak anytime ! LOL

Yup, that's a pretty fish. My area is locked up solid. Good job getting out Dan. Still waiting for some back straps, chops or venison burgers, just sayin!!!!

I sent you a PM Eddie ! Oh, and I guess the post should have read "Soft water Feb. pike" I was out on Sunday, which was Feb.2nd.

I haven't been out in my kayak since December and am going through withdrawals! Glad to see you found some open water and put some cold slime on the boat.
