Farrington Lake pickerel

[Andrushkin33]

Another night at Farrington Lake:

So as I have noticed everyone seems to have love/ hate relationship with the Lake. Been fishing on and off there since 95 looking like everyone else for those monster pikes that everyone seems to be talking about but no one seems to be able to pull them out. Fished yesterday from 7pm till 930pm from shore around St Johns (which not St Johns anymore) area. Water dropped a lot from the start of the summer and by a lot I do mean a lot. Submerged old bridge (or what remains) is completely visible now and lost something when fish took the bait and darted into that pile on.

Caught couple of crappies, sunny, catfish and this little beauty of a pickerel. Length 25 inches with a weight of 3.5 lbs.



Was using nightcrawlers and it took of with it when I was jigging the worm a bit.

Everything but the pickerel was released. Even though I do practice catch and release I was in the mood for some pickerel steaks and it didn't disappoint.

My first post here so no longer lurking around.

Yours truly,

Andre
