May 29 2007- 2 Small Pike

And so I went back out to Allport Bay this morning with Maggie & caught this 28 1/2 inch, 4 lb 4 oz Pike. this fish was caught on a #5 Red Mepps. This little puppy was also caught on a #5 Red Mepps. It was only 20 1/2 inches & weighed about 1 1/2 lb. Smallest one so far this year.
Here's something else that you don't see very often in Muskoka. If you look closely enough you will see hundreds & hundreds of small perch. They were in large schools all a long the shoreline in shallow sun exposed bays. And of course where you see bait fish, you find the predators----
---- lots of small bass and----
---- & lots of small Pike! I'm glad I'm a little higher up on the food chain. There was a pretty deadly game of "Survivor" going on today!
