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? .

Re: First Spruce Run Pike....
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.

Re: First Spruce Run Pike....
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.

Re: First Spruce Run Pike....
To be honest, its not a great place. Plenty of panfish to be sure but gamefish are hard to come by but this is not unlike most large, popular waters. In all honesty who out there ever gets their limit of bass (or any other gamefish for that matter) at such places? Not many. Its like if you get one or two keeper-size you've had a great day. This is why I toss around small lures hoping for anything. I'd rather catch 50 sunnies & perch than 1 bass anytime!

Re: First Spruce Run Pike....
Great catch on the 4lb test. The Pike are in a frenzy this time of year. Nice mixed bag as well.

Re: First Spruce Run Pike....
Nice catch! I hear u on the boat traffic. Some idiots flipped a rental boat while messing around. I think their 9.9 sank to the bottom.
