Pike Hunter

Thanks for sharing the report. I wish I could be out there this morning with calm wind. Had to attend my children flag football games. Will be out there tomorrow morning. Best of luck on the LOC.

Way to go YT!

What I like about this story is 4 dozen beers for the guys who fought the fish for hours. Now, I am gonna tell my friend from Canada that he should not be wasting his time looking for the sturgeon monster in his river.

Ottawa River Monster! > FYI: This sturgeon is still alive, just worn out from the fight.

Chris: I am curious to find out if you plan to have someone to install the autopilot on your boat. The bunge cord is what I am using now to keep the boat on the course. Protroll and autopilot are on my wish list. Thanks for sharing. Anthony

JF: Im not sure if this thread is something you are planning to do. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8832 My wellcraft V21 steplift has cuddy and I am contemplating about adding shelves to use up "wasted space". My children re getting older and I dont think cuddy would be used as often as when they were younger. Look forward to seeing pix of your final work. Best of luck.

Nice boat! Best of luck catching many fish on Raven.

You have Pm. Thanks.

You got a pm. Thanks.

I ve sent my "voice" today. thanks for the link.

Wow! I cant stop looking at these pictures! Thanks for posting GK!

Slimy hooks - you have a pm!

I would check with Bosco. He seems to be the most knowledgable about the walleyes in I bay.

Sindale, I was fishing in the premise around Held's cove where the goons thought they had the luxury to cruise through the shallow area. I was fishing in between 6 and 9 FOW where the pike hit the bait. I try to be careful about where I chose to fish yet these goofballs managed to show up where they shouldnt be. Indeed, I truly prefer fishing during the weekdays as compared to the weekends. Pike will still be there preying on anything that comes up along the weedlines year round.

Nice Pike! helluva fish, eh!

Fall fishing has been excellent and you know how little time we have left in the evenings when all the hungry fish are still preying. Last Friday evening, first ten minutes, this brute took pike minnow and immediately broke the water surface. Took great ten minutes to finally tire down the fish and landed with a pole in one hand and net in the other hand. Two days earlier, I lost the fish when trying to reach out and grab the net at starboard behind the canvas. Nice 34" about 7 lbs. On Sunday a.m. went out again. Pike were not biting at all. Traffic, perhaps. Then, in front of me between my boat and the land, a wakeboat came crusing towing goofball doing some jumps on air board. With all of water in the bay, this boat chose to speed off in between my boat and two other boats. Three of our boats were very close to the shore, yet that wakeboard boat zipped through. If this has happened to you, what would you have done? A) Flip the bird. B) Aim hard with your old golf balls at the wakeboat driver and the goofball riding on airboard. C) Pray to god you have very good defense lawyer after you fire upon them. D) Do nothing and whine about it to your fellow fishermen on the LOU board.

Guys, thank you for the excellent tips. Tight lines. Anthony
