Ontario pike fishing

The Pike Saga Continues

The gang and I have trolled every area of the lake now and have caught countless pike. Sad part is they are all in the 24″ size range and under. While they are quite strong at this size, we want one that could pick his teeth with these ones. Saturday we ganged up and headed out, Myself and Marten in one boat and Big John and Tips in the other. Fishing was slow for the first couple hours, the sun was out and it was hot. We started out trolling, searching for pike to no avail. John and Tips found themselves a weedy corner and we saw them hooking into some pan fish, which they seemed quite happy in doing after a couple hours without fish.

Marten and I were staying on the move trying to find the big pike we have been looking for. Just around the bend after leaving the boys we had some action, Marten caught a twenty incher and moments later I got an aggressive hit and hooked into a fish very briefly. He ran hard two or three times taking line fast. Could it be the pike we have been looking for? I thought as I fumbled to kill the motor. He ran hard once more and was off as quick as he was on. After a few curse words we decided to stay in this section and cast for a while. We managed a couple more pike each and called it a day. I guess the hunt will continue next trip.
