Well, it wasn’t quite the Great White North, but it might as well have been. The weather last week was just miserable, which makes sense since I had it off. My buddy Dave’s Dad Robert and I headed north anyways, and fished Thur Fri in the wind, cold and mist. The catch of the weekend for us was this nice pike which went very close to 34″, a real nice fish. We managed a couple others, as well as a few LMB and a couple perch that hit a spinnerbait and lipless crank. The 2nd pike was my biggest from the weekend, which put up a great fight, but wasn’t in the class of Robert’s! Most fish looked real healthy, including a LMB that was only about 16″, but had a gut I couldn’t believe. Even the perch looked good.
I was told Sunday straightened up some, and some others in the party got a MA perch and a pike that was real close. Even though we’re still behind a couple weeks for a normal fishing year, fish are still being caught. We’ll see how this week pans out.
