Had a fun weekend up in that region. First time going for pike. Action was good in the mornings and late afternoon. I think the family that thought it was great fun to set up right next to us and spent both days doing donuts on ATVs kiboshed the peak bite hours :fury: They complained to us that they didn't have any bites at all... wonder why?

Anyway, live and dead ~5" shiners did the trick, both on the bottom and suspended. Biggest we caught was around 9#, but there were bigger around... Two shacks over got a 19# on Saturday.

Caught my first pike, so can check that off the list.

Fun fish, fun fights.

We got nine over the two days of fishing, with about as many drops. I bet it's a great place to fish on a weekday.

I bet.... when i fished them regualrly.. we'd set dead and live baits and leave the ice.. or get away as far as possible.. quieter the better...

I lost the desire to chase them for what ever reason..
