Want excitement? Fish for stripers using a freshwater stick like you'd be using for pike. Pike fight hard and long, but the tackle is not anywhere near surf stuff. besides, you can eat stripers.

Fished for Pike with a good friend of mine who owns a bunch of land in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. The fishing was great and it was a lot of fun. The pike was smoked and the meat was some of the best fish I've tasted. I would never trade it for Striper Fishing though, but that's just me. Those Northern Pike get very big and very mean though. I guess I'd have tp catch a 45lbs pike before I could compare. World Record Pike was caught in Germany and was a little over 55LBS.

You couldn't be more wrong on both counts.

The fishing there, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Canada is certainly prolific but there's plenty of good pike fishing here locally whether through the ice or rod and reel. Fish over 20#'s aren't that uncommon. |
