Pike - Inner Bay & Bluff Bar - Tuesday, May 5th

[Duck Soup]

It was sunny and calm in Simcoe this morning therefore Albert and I decided to head out. When we got to the Turkey Point Marina it had clouded over but still looked fine. We fished the Inner Bay first but aside from a SM Bass and one small pike we only had followers. After a half hour we headed up to Bluff Bar. There wasn't another boat to be seen but the fishing was outstanding. We lost count but we exceeded 30 pike and Albert also caught a small musky in about 2 and a half hours of effort fishing jigs. A light rain started a little after 12 noon so we packed it in. I got a photo of Albert and his baby musky but I was in a hurry to button up the boat and will have to retrieve the camera later. No huge pike and a few real babies today. Estimate the biggest was 6-1/2 pounds with most in the 3-5 pound range.

Great work! I always look forward to your reports. Do you jig the twister tail or slowly reel it in?

Zeeter, we jig the twister tail. Sometimes slowly reeling it works, but not often.

Hi Pete, it started raining at 12:15 at Bluff Bar but we eventually drove out of it and I was able to get the boat covered and stuff put away before it started again. Happy to hear they were biting in the Bay. I figured we were attracting recently caught and released fish when we were there because while we saw lots, they were looking and not taking. We did see one that was over 40" but she wasn't in the mood. I still haven't landed one beyond 14 pounds and change here in LPB but I doubt she was any better.
