Super User A-Jay Posted September 24, 2016 Super User Posted September 24, 2016 This morning I was unable to get on the "Umbrella Rig" lake as the NE wind was too stiff. As a consolation, I stayed very local. This lake has a decent population of SMB as well as the usual Pike & Walleye By Catch. Well, I did OK. Got on some decent smallies right off the bat on a 1.5 squarebill but it was obvious early on that the 62 degree water & wind had the pike on the move & looking to eat. A SK RES was getting choked. Green cabbage weed in ten feet was the ticket. Here's the best one of MANY. Fun Day. A-Jay 8 Quote

lecisnith Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Nice fish. How does that stack up to the PB last year? Btw, you don't look happy at all. You should really start enjoying yourself more. 1 Quote

I'm going back again in the morning. I bet I didn't go 10 minutes all day with a least a strike from one of these toothy bait wreckers. Started out with a spinnerbait bit they were ruining them faster than I could re-tie. A-Jay 1 Quote

If what is biting is just going to steal your lunch money anyway. I should probably think about investing in some steel leader material. 1 Quote

Looks more like a grimace of displeasure to me. A frowny face of disgust at having to catch and hold such a large fish just so his camera can get it's precious picture. Stupid cameras, they're so needy. 2 Quote
