Walking School Bus Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I have caught pike every trip to the Boundary Waters using #7 or #9 rapalas and 3/4 oz rattletraps. It's amazing how they seem to be following me around, or maybe they are everywhere in those lakes. Quote
Super User Marty Posted November 27, 2010 Super User Posted November 27, 2010 Congratulations. Unfortunately, I'll never make it to the Boundary Waters, which looks like a canoeist's and fisherman's heaven. Quote
northern basser Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Northern MN and into Canada is heavily populated w/ pike. Especially low pressured areas like BWCA. The low press. areas also have much larger pike on average. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 How are the Rapalas & traps holding up? Lot's of tooth marks... ;D The water is hard up there right now and looking at your clothes in the photo - you must be talking about an earlier trip... Have you fished from your new Wenonah yet?

BassThumb Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 They're everywhere up there, and they'll hit anything that moves. Part of me loves pike fishing, especially when I'm maintaining a 5 lb+ average, but it gets really annoying when you're fishing for other species. Bring some spooks and Rapala Subwalks next time you go. Quote
