Lessons

If you are fishing an area where Northern pike are biting and you do not use a leader, you are going to get bit off.- I had probably caught close to 100 fish on this Terminator before I lost it to a northern tonite.
Avoid fishing muddy water.


Area fished

Back sloughs and stumps, pool 7.
