I figured out where he was but I won't tell jspecex.

Nice fishies

 

[jspecex]

thanks Ed, it is a pretty high pressure area right now, but i am pretty sure any channel or runoff from the river will hold many pike.

 

[wop]

your good Ed, what gave it away the one pic with the road and truck in it?

hey i look at it this way, sharing tricks and tips are great, but sometimes you just have to find the spots yourself. if you find a good fishing spot, and do well there why would you want a bunch of people to go there. i personally work hard to find my good fishing spots being i dont own a boat. so i keep them to myself as-well. its called fishing for a reason!!

Good ole HNG.
Been fishing there for 10 years.
Used to be nobody there.
Now you get people coming from all over.
The word got out.
Have caught some great bass there.

Great fish! I've been unsuccessfully looking for pike since the ice out. I've been using spoons around shallow cover in the tributaries. Any tips?

i have tried spoons and crankbaits with no luck. everything so far has been on medium to large roaches,floating them in current breaks.

i have produced some using swimbaits worked real slow
