Lots of harbor pike
I've been pretty lax lately when it comes to posting reports and pics - time to fix that!
I was lined up to help take a group of Boy Scouts out fishing last night, but the event was postponed due to the weather. I knew the worst of the rain had already passed, and since I was already there, I decided to fish. It did rain a little, but I don't mind fishing in the rain, (that's what they make rain gear for, right?) The pike sure didn't mind, (they're already wet.)
Starting at the boat launch, I threw blue/silver and chart./white spinnerbaits around the weed beds and boat docks. The hammer handles were very active, and I finished the evening landing 6 pike, and losing 3 more. I even caught a bonus 15 inch largemouth bass. Catching largemouth on a spinnerbait is not at all unusual - unless you're fishing in the Escanaba Harbor! I've been chucking spinnerbaits in the harbor every year since 1989, and that's only the second one I've caught in there like that!
Anyway, I took a picture of every fish, just for the heck of it.
