Since we were not able to find a seat in a boat for pike/walleye opener(I could not take all the reports that flowed in that weekend 
)we took this as an op to get out and boat a few pike to break in the first outing of the year 
Friday came quick and with anticipation to get on the water, we loaded the car and we were off to the lake quicker than you could snap your fingers
About half way there the weatherman told us the rain was going to continue through until Monday 
Yea right...Jiggy and I knew the fishing was going to be tough..
The cottage!
It was cold and raining every time we went out, but that did not stop us from catching 20+ pike in a day
Jiggy with a few nice ones..
And myself with a few....
A few shots of the lake..
We fished for walleye for a bit with no luck...Thats next weekends report
As the fishing slowed down Jiggy and I tried different baits and methods for working the baits to find what was working...Trolling deep diving rebels and bombers with purple and green color to them was hot!
A few baits that worked well included Northam tackles crippled crappie spinnerbaits and spoons...Also, glass shad raps and bombers were pike slayers..
Now, we did not boat the biggest pike in the lake but this trip out with the bro was as fun and intense as any other trip...I cannot wait to get back up there next friday to hook into the big walleye that roam the depths of out little pond (lake
) Thanks for reading!Here are a few action videos from the cottage!!
