CG_Fishes Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Took a trip to a well-known muskie spot with @ThatKidInNY to try and get on some esox. After grinding all day we finally got on a "pattern" with the pike fishing the magslowl in backpools. I got 2 small pike and a smallmouth, losing many other smallies and another small pike in the process. Will caught the biggest pike of the day by far and unfortunately lost a tank smallie. I also saw a 40+" muskie porpoise in front of my kayak. It was a great time and I'm excited to get out again to say the least BOZ, bassbass, bigbass45 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG_Fishes Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Anddddd another one. Different river, same system. Stopped for 2 hours after work at the local spillway. I know there are some fish of the caliber I am looking for in there just gotta keep trying, still looking to break the 3ft mark ThatKidInNY, BOZ and Jim137a 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikopap1 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Pike sure love those big soft plastics. You'll get a big one CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG_Fishes Posted June 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 More dink pike. Can't seem to break 30, gonna keep trying of course. The bigger of the 2 ate an 8" Mr. Zorba glide and missed but came back for the 7" magslowl as a follow up. Pictured here are 2 of 3 fish from the past week, since the third slipped out of my hands before I could take any pics. Not too bummed since it was another 24-26" and I was happy to see it swim off strong. I love these fish more than anything else though, something about them is just so special to me danthefisherman, ThatKidInNY and BOZ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG_Fishes Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Add another. Went 1 for 4 on bites today and had an absolute giant follow my bait to my feet. I knew there were fish that size in here, now I just gotta get her to eat. Getting closer to my goal of a 36+, this fish probably being close to 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterWolf44 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 I know it's not a swim bait but when Pike do that follow up with a jerk bait tied on a second rod and a lot of times you can provoke them into striking CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
