@DST, come on down to Port Rowan and try your luck at the Fall Pike Derby!I am just beginning my Pike quest on Lake Erie
There is a commercial harvest of Pike at Long Point? I did not know that!Don’t forget the commercial harvest of pike in the Inner Bay.
From the document @ http://www.glfc.org/pubs/lake_commi...nd_docs/East Basin Technical Report Final.pdfThere is a commercial harvest of Pike at Long Point? I did not know that!
The commercial fishery in the Ontario waters of eastern Lake Erie includes trawling for rainbow smelt, and gillnet fishing for walleye, yellow perch and lake whitefish. The commercial fishers operate out of Port Colborne, Port Maitland, Nanticoke and Port Dover. A fishery using hoop and seine nets occurs in the nearshore waters of Inner Long Point Bay. It harvests carp (Cyprinus carpio), bowfin (Amia calva), sunfish (Lepomis spp.), crappies (Pomoxis spp.), yellow perch and northern pike (Esox lucius). Most of these fish are marketed live. A hoop net fishery in the Grand River focuses on coarse fish. There are significant recreational fisheries in both U.S. and Canadian waters; offshore for walleye, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), lake trout and pacific salmon species (Oncorhynchus spp.), and nearshore for yellow perch, smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui), walleye, crappies and sunfish. A winter fishery for yellow perch, northern pike and sunfishes exists in Long Point Bay
Well @Red Hering , when I fish for pike with @Three Bouys , I just have to show up and try not to knock the fish off the line when netting them for Jim.

That's why I didn't post a report from this weekend.There is some people that post pictures on other social media of their catch of pike that I would be ashamed to post.
any pics?Our record was 22lbs last yea
No. I have some pics of a 13 lb, but I don't always take pics. I lost a phone a few years ago. Fishing with a rookie, he didn't expect a large northern to get upset. I scrambled to get ahold of it before the pike got hurt and my 2 month old phone went for a swim. Was an expensive day.any pics?
