Super User Micro Posted September 2, 2008 Super User Posted September 2, 2008 ...so even us crappy fishermen wouldn't get skunked. ;D I swear, you can always count on pickerel. I went out today to the exact same spot I caught 5 bass and 1 crappie in under an hour the other day. Today, I couldn't buy a bass bite. All I got were pickerel. They'll eat anything. I love 'em!

JShrock07 Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 I have yet to catch a pickeral consider yourself lucky to be able to catch them... Quote

Super User Sam Posted September 2, 2008 Super User Posted September 2, 2008 The last time I hooked a Chain Pickrel was on Lake Gaston and he got to the boat, took one look at me, and cut the line with his teeth. But it was fun getting him to the boat. And he as a big one, too. I would say almost 2 and a half feet long. Quote
MichiganFisherman Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Never caught a pickeral but, I've caught pike. At least you didn't get skunked... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 2, 2008 Super User Posted September 2, 2008 God made pickerel... So turtles would have something to eat. : Quote
Super User Marty Posted September 2, 2008 Super User Posted September 2, 2008 Pickerel can be a pain at times, but I've always thought they fight better than largemouth. Quote

macmaster761 Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 i like fighting pickerel, but the'yre certainly not the adorable lip easy bass. I hate getting near those dam teeth, but they do put up a hell of a fight Quote
Super User Marty Posted September 3, 2008 Super User Posted September 3, 2008 never could understand why most people hate em. I can think of three reasons off the top of my head. They have low status. Even though they fight better, I have a much higher degree of satisfaction when catching a bass I've never fished a tournament, but they've got to be monstrous annoyance to those guys Biteoffs Quote
Bad Fish Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Pike= mother natures sawz all ;D God mad them so you think you have a lunker bass and all you get is a swimming hack saw,,,I've caught 5 or 6 on the same fire tiger bomber "a",,,I have to post pics so you can see the teeth marks Quote

loomis spookwalker Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Man, at Lake Murray all I have to do is find a calm cove with channels and tie on a # 11 Husky Jerk to catch Chain Pickerel. They are about the best fighting freshwater fish out there. Quote
