What are those black spots on the Northern?
Parasitic cysts in the skin. Common to pike in the river as well as sunfish and perch. Bass can get it, but crappies don’t seem to come along with it very often. Usually if you see the black spots you’ll find small, yellow worm larva in the gills and meat. This is the same blsack spot stuff you’ll find in the local reservoirs where current is nil to non-existent.
Thanks for the info. I have seen them before, but never knew what they were.
and Louie, knock it off, you are starting to make me really jealous
