Updated with ? Was a first for this newbie. I am hooked!
So, this spring traded up In pcs to a 16' x 60" semi v hull with a 20hp merc. And I am really enjoying it, with my 2 small children. Much more stable, and room to move.
All this being said, we are new to this with the exception of annual walleye trips with the boys.
Last fall trips were dismal, cat fish mostly, so was a little disappointed.
Well this spring with the new set up, I feel like bob Izumi. I have only missed 1 day since Friday's opener and have 3 nice walleyes and a 4 pike to show for my efforts. My biggest pike was a 30" fella that was a breeze on my new bait cast set up.
Like I said I am a newbie to this and wanted to catch a nice pike.
I have been going nuts all spring waiting for the opener, and I am really enjoying it all so far.
Not sure if a 30" pike is note worthy to most, but it sure felt great knowing I really should invest in a larger net.
Cheers and great fishing folks!!!
Btw I have been fishing baie McLaren in the templeton section of Gatineau. Water is remarkably high this year so it has become a great fisherie, so far this spring.

Any pb fish is noteworthy. The fun part now is trying to break it

Awesome, keep at her, you'll surely be catching a new PB this summer..
What does your boat look like? Maybe I've seen you around..
My friends and I fish that part of the river all year round.

I love a 30 inch pike--that's a great fish. Way to go
No matter how many fish I land, it's ones that got away I think about most. :']

Re: Was a first for this newbie. I am hooked!
ok so posted some photos, and I am unsure if it was infact a Pike or was possibly a muskey? I did releaee the fish and made sure it was able to swim away after photos. Can anyone shed some light on this.
thanks Dale
