In a hunt for pike - Spruce

[Andrushkin33]

Instead of chasing the nestle quick bunny in the chocolate waters of the Passaic once again returned to the Spruce in a hunt for the monsta, that I know is waiting for me.

Meet up with Ryan and off we went to a different spot that looked to be productive based on well you know my fish sense.

You couldn't ask for a better night to be out fishing. Surface was flat with barely a ripple and all the conditions were in our favor. Except one. No pike.

We waded in and spent the next 3 hours waiting for that sweet sound of the screaming line that would not come.

Throughout had one solid hit but got overly excited to finally see the bobber going down and ripped bait right of the mouth of whatever that wanted it.

Ryan saw one pop his head out and laugh at us but we could not get any to commit.

Skunk was avoided by both of us with me pulling out a cookie cutter smallmouth and Ryan hooking up with a healthy sweet looking cat.

Spot was marked for future exploration and pike will come out from there mark my words.

Overall a beautiful night to be out with a buddy.

Ryan ,

No liquid courage and I released the first fish I caught. Seems like my superstions held up. Damn it.
