Re: Pike Behavior and Advice
Bob, thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. That was a lot of useful information for me and I think it will guide me in the right direction. I'll make it a point to look out for areas that have enough food for pike. Also, many thanks on the article as well, I'll definitely take a look at that.
Thom Yorke, Radiohead is in my opinion one of the best bands ever. I often look for those creek beds so I'll give those areas an extra look if I'm on the water when its high. As for that monster pike, I was unable to get a photo. I was on my kayak fishing by myself and this thing was thrashing in the net between my legs. Sucker flipped out of the boat before I could compose myself. 40 inches is an estimate b/c I have a tape measure on my paddle and this thing was bigger than my leg. It towed me back and forth across the river for like 10 minutes until I could finally net it. I was friggen shaking after that, so exciting the image is burned into my head.
Can't wait to get back on the water. I've been logging the conditions every time I go out and hopefully with your advice, I'll be more efficient at catching these beasts! Thanks for your help guys!
