Pike Fishing

[fishtildark]

Norton Joe, I too like to fish for pike (and Musky from my early years in the Kawartha Lakes with my dad). Like Marco who must be the one who beats me to all the Beaver dams, favorite time is mid day. Favorite lures are the daredevil or bucktail. have found that while they do like the traditional weeds, they also are fond of the big rocks. Many times over the years the biggest pike encounters had to do with a hooked walleye. One took three eaters off the stringer. One real nice one caught in40 feet of water a couple years ago while jigging for lake trout. They are unpredictable, mean and fun also when they chase to the boat and have seen them come out of the water for a lure hanging a foot out.A great way to wait out the walleye feed.

We have seen then caught downrigging 80 feet down for Lake Trout suspended over 160FOW.

Beautiful pictures of pike!  The other day my wife and I grilled some pike I brought back from Lac Watson.  I removed the skin, and Y-bones and soaked it in milk overnight then grilled it the next day and it was delicious as fish tacos!
