Re: First pike trip of the year--wont be the last!
Thanks all! The site has been immensely helpful and I appreciate all the feedback. After driving in the rain this AM it's pretty evident that it'll take some time for things to relax and be fishable again.
Next time out I'll try the 20 lb fluoro as I purchased a leader spool last Friday. The barrel swivels I purchased were rated a bit high at 40# but they should work fine with a 12" leader.
And lastly--I'm a manager of expectation for a living...I know all pike excursions will not be as fruitful but boy am I glad it was this past Saturday!
Catch 'em up!
