Re: First pike trip of the year--wont be the last!
great day! had an hour to kill myself yesterday and hit a local river area as I haven't been in a while. Wanted to try a new bait caster I setup as a frogging rod with 50lb hi vis yellow braid and tied on a nylon coated steel leader. Never fished for pike with line this visible or heavy and the water was so low I could see the bloated bottom feeders (carp) plain as day. Just as I was thinking how it was too low my spoon slid by a carp and the water exploded from a 26 inch toothy. Few minutes later I had another one follow me in and nip my spoon a foot from shore.
