Default First Spruce Run Pike....

...and it was a dandy: a solid 30" caught on 4lb test and a 1/16th oz spinner. Helluva battle on UL gear. It damn near took all my line(I only spool on about 70 yds). Otherwise a pleasant 3 hrs of fishing. Lots of panfish and few little bass. Res is too high for my liking though. Needs to be about 3 feet lower. I prefer wading the shallows and right now many spots are just too deep to get by.

Also found a large fish floating in the shallows. I'm guessing Hybrid Bass and a decent sized one.

Nice pike.

I saw a guy wading last night in the shallows between the pier and the next parking lot. Was that you?

Nope. Went today between 9 and noon. I normally avoid that place on weekends
'cause of all the boat traffic but I wanted to scout it out to see water levels and whether the weeds were up yet.

Nice fish. I was out doing the same thing in the yak. Only caught one nice bass and a bunch of little guys. Did run into a school of little wipers that were savage.They were hitting my lures dangling of the side of the yak. Almost lost a pole. Also lost 2 wipers after dark.
