Almost time...
That was my biggest last year, excuse the lip grabbers as i was with out a net and wanted to be as quick as i could snapping a pic.... hard not to drop the cell phone in that tiny pontooner. so i opted for the newbie tongs. I always C&R and do my best to get them back swimming as quick as i can, but i had to grab a pic of her.
anyone got any spring pike tips and tricks?
Crank baits? Jigs? dead bait on a bobber? Barn kitten on big bobber? (jk)
I'll start the discussion off with my go to's
Rappla crank bait in the 6-8" range in perch coloration, nice slow troll over the weed beds.
Westin Mikethe Pike the big 12" in natural color, fast jerky retrieve from the shallows to the deep.
I'm thinking of Trying more of a surface presentation this spring... maybe a muskie lure that really makes some noise and splash on the surface.
Good luck to everyone this season.... can't wait
