A slow morning turned into fast pike fishing when the clouds parted enough for the sun to come through.
Casting spinnerbaits and cranks in 3 to 15 feet of water produced a number of pike like the one Peter is holding.
And like the pike he isn't holding. Dems are wiggly pikes and not easy to juggle!
I had a 10 lb muskie grab my spinnerbait beside the boat for a second.
And a 30 inch pike gave chase to the boat as well. That's true - I swear it!
Bobber with company on this fine day. They're jigging for catfish, as were so many other boats on this fine day.
It was a fine day indeed.
Blair to Bobber What kind of bait do you think I should try now Bobber.
Bobber to Blair What every angler has to have in their tackle box - a Big O!
Blair to Bobber My goodness - I'm afraid your Big-O is snagged on the bottom and is now rapidly swimming away.
Blair's Big-O bags a 38 inch musky on medium spinning gear!
And now it is time for the weekly nature shot. Here is a water snake that took his chances slithering across the Mississippi.
And here the snake says Good-bye.
