May 16 2010-Pike Season is Now Open

Pike season is now open and it's time to go down to the dock and see if there are any monster fish to be caught. Within the first couple of minutes the bobber went down. I set the hook and the battle begins. First pike of the year is 26" long and weighs around 4lb. Joanne decides she wants to catch a fish as well. First the cast. And what a cast!

Now the waiting begins.

She didn't have to wait very long and her bobber went down and the fight begins!

Nice fish. A Smallmouth Bass that measured 15 1/2". Since Bass is not in season, a quick photo and the fish was quickly released unharmed.
We continued to fish for another couple of hours, but there were no more bites. We'll be back!
