Wanted to get out for a bit yesterday before the temps dropped and the storms arrived. Hit the river around 11. Water level and current were up a bit and the wind was FIERCE!! Tried a few diff presentations and managed 1 pike on a swimbait. Wasnt a giant, but he had some meat on his bones.
He also had a minor gill deformity were its gill was kinda , hanging out a little. Not sure if it's from a previous c&r of just genetics, but there was no blood and he seemed to be healthy and eating so. Maybe its the water.........
