fishinthedacks Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 So it has been slow so far this year. This beautiful weather I figured the bass would be in. What happened next I did not expect. Who catches pike in a river this time of year. I toss a spinner from mike with a big bites baits watermelon coon tail trailer. Within minutes of my retrieve I got nailed. My Abu Garcia was bent in half begging for mercy. 40 mins later this almost 4 ft pike fighting the current was on the cement and my back was killing me! Three more bass over 3 lbs and two smaller carps all on mikes jigs and spinners. Thanks for the good equipment mike but dang man I'm sore. how can I post pics on here with windows phone? 1 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted April 14, 2014 Super User Posted April 14, 2014 Ha. I'm gonna say Mike will suggest a hot bath with epsom salts Quite an interesting day for you, though. Can't help you with a Windows phone though.... Quote
spartyon8 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Photobucket app? That's what I use on my i-pay-too-much-phones. Quote
boostr Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Nice haul. So far the only thing I've caught with Mike's jigs are rocks. I Lost my blue gill swim jig on Saturday in rocks, and i lost my dredge brush jig last weekend in rocks. Me thinks i need to invest in some waders. Where were you fishing? Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Nice catching. I'd like to see those pictures from that trip!! Quote
fishinthedacks Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 Down at the river here in canjo. Its been dead but yesterday everyone was hauling hogs out of there. I'm going to send them to my friend he has an android and then add it on here. Everything seems more compatible with androids. 1 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted April 14, 2014 Super User Posted April 14, 2014 If you know these big violent striking toothy critters are there I have two words? Thin wire leader @ Wal-Mart. I put in hours tweeting my first spinnerbaits as per Glenn's instructions when a 30" pickerel came on the shorelines very edge out of the water as I lifted my newly hottest spinnerbaits setup I ever had success with on the first day of using it. I couldn't believe my eyes to what I was seeing. It was in slow motion as this monster stole my hot spinnerbaits my mouth opened as my jaw dropped in awe. I swapped out the Colorado blades I took off other larger spinnerbaits that we're new. This new little spinnerbaits with the over sized blades was "thumpy" I just had to try more thump. I didn't record my changes. I didn't toss my rod, I didn't get upset but for 60 seconds I was ready to put my knife across my teeth and jump in the water after it, NOT ME. I just took a shot on the chin from Mike pickerel Tyson. What a fish. So I feel your pain brother. Another day I spent $75 the night before on new lures. I was in a rush to go fishing really bad. How bad? My casting direction savy was way off that day. When I left I left five new lures in the trees. The heart breaker is all five caught fish that day. My casting was out of control. I hardly ever lose anything lately. Does anyone offer lure insurance? 1 Quote
