Tuesday's trips were ok...nothing notable other than I think I may be on to a new pike lure...after everything else failed I gave this new lure a try and got 3 pike in about 15 mins...nothing big but exciting to see it working. I'll post pics of the lure once I get the design nailed down.
Started Weds off fishing with a friend. Took him to my pike spot and he did manage to get a pike but it was small. We also had a bass boat (fishing a tourney I guess) zoom up right in front of us...drop the trolling motor and proceed to cast their line right over mine. I mentioned as nicely as I could that I understand they are in a tourney...I've been there many times...but that there are 110 miles of lake here and he has 150 HP so I didn't really think "fronting out" two guys in a kayak was necessary.
I guess that spot was really important because they continued fishing right on top of us. Ah well. We paddled on to happier waters.
My friend ended up getting a small bass and it was looking like I was going to get skunked for the first time in as long as I could remember when a nice fat smallie helped me out of that situation...
Then tonight I went out after work looking for that MA pike again and tried some new water I've never fished before. Came up to this spot that looked really nice and ended up getting a nice fat 30 incher. The way it hit I thought for sure I had "the one" but I guess I'll have to keep trying.
