It was Tuesday evening when mom decided to head up to the cottage for the long weekend.With the weather being as shaty as it was all week there was no way we were going to stay home with our heads down all weeekend hoping the rain will change to sun....We needed to fish 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!!

Thanks for that Tip Up. Bobber and I could have used a few pike like the ones you and Jighead caught when we fished the baitcasters derby on Saturday. Keep up the good work - I look forward to more reports.

And the vids were great too.

Nice pikes tip-up.

Nice job guys.

Cool report laddy!!

Good job guys. Looks like you guys have a beautiful spot and it never hurts that it has a healthy population of our slimy friends.

Yup that was sure a great weekend. Im really looking forward to hitting the lake up again this weekend it should be a blast. the fish were incredably active but i couldent keep them off the northam brown trout spoon!

Next weekend should be a blast ! The walleye were hitting hard this time last year...All were 19'' +.. and brookies Cant wait

Great job boys, keep 'em coming. Your enthusiasm and passion to get out there is inspiring. Look forward to more reports.

Nice lookin fish and lake guys. Thanks for the pics

It was awsome watching pike smack our lures in the clear water...Hope to get into some bigger fish on friday!

(Noticed a few sentence errors in the report )

What a beautiful weekend

Weather was hot, fish were caught, and the camera batteries died the 1st afternoon of the trip .........

Got up to the lake at 6:00pm and rigged up ASAP...Loaded the boat, then unloaded the car ( .. ).

The pike were active and smacking everything we threw at em'...at one point I wondered how any other specie of fish could live in the lake with so many pike...lost count at about 13 then as the night moved on swiched to walleye tactics..

Action played through until tonight, unfortunatly pics are very few

pike....

dock....

Our rig

Minnows in the creek...(All were sweeped up by the minnow scene )


Cruisin for walleye!
