Tried Pike this morning for approximately 2 1/2 hours fishing with Albert (Intrepid). Fishing with his boat is a bit of a handicap but it didn't matter much today. We had planned to keep two smaller pike each to eat but ended up having to keep 5 that completely swallowed the hooks. We quit after 5. Typically catch and release is great fishing a jig but not this morning. It was:
1. strike and miss
2. strike and lose the fish
3. strike and the jig is down his throat.
It may be we are getting too old and our reflexes are not what they used to be. Anyway, the fishing was excellent and the derby on the 13th should provide participants with lots of action.
Saw Jumbos out there perching. Didn't recognize him with his sun glasses. He seemed to be doing OK.
