Productive 90 minutes on the river

[msgdan]

I got on the river last night at about 6:30 after work and was off the water by a little after 8PM. Missed a great strike on one of my first casts and then landed a decent pickerel.

There was another area I wanted to try that was about a 15 minute paddle each way, but decided to stay the area I started in, with a great water level and weeds. I am glad I did !! Wound up landed 5 pike with one being very nice at just over the 36 inch mark.

This pike took me about 5 minutes to get to the kayak after making some great runs and then getting caught up in some weeds. After a couple of pictures I was drenched from sweat and getting splashed and just sat there for a few minutes having a nice cold one.

A few casts later in the same spot, I hooked and got another pike that was just bigger than the spinner bait that I was trying to get a picture of, that just starting going crazy and went back in.

The other pike landed were all in the mid 20's. A great 90 minutes for sure !!
