Comments:
It was my annual pike fishing trip up to Nelson with Scott, and it ended up being a marathon. We casted and fished very hard for almost twelve hours without a break.
As usual our fishing trips are very competitive. This trip I was looking for larger sized pike and Scott appeared to be trying to catch as many fish as possible. I caught almost all my fish on swim baits and Scott caught most of his on a spinner bait.
In the morning the fish did not seem to be nearly as aggressive, and the slower presentation of the swim bait definitely out fished the spinner bait. But, as the day progressed and the water temperature got warmer the spinner bait accounted for more fish, but not bigger fish.
Observations:
The water is still very high, but it has reached its peak and will slowly start to fall. There was very little sign of new aquatic plant growth. The apple, lilac and bleeding hearts are starting to bloom.
