Opening day tactics

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Opening day tactics

Post by Hoser »

Just wondering what you guys use on opening day. I get a couple of dozen big sucker minnows and head for a bay on the north shore near a creek mouth. Rumor has it the post spawn fish are still in the area. I usually get my limit of good sized pike and the occasional 'eye. I gave up on the Izumi trick of using buzz baits in really shallow water for monster pike. All I ever seem to catch is hammer handles and pre spawn bass.

That's cuz Izumi tapes all his "new super-lure" shows at Knee Lake, Kesagami and such places where just about anything will catch scads of monster pike.

My favourite was watching him fish a walleye spawning creek at Knee Lake with a mini spinner-bait while showing what a "fantastic" lure it was.

:roll: Gimme a break!

I would say your plan sounds like a good one.
