#269926 Pike Opener

Posted by tayjusti on 05 May 2013 - 06:47 PM

Was on Georgian Bay this weekend for the opener up there. Planned on 90% pike fishing and maybe 10% walleye fishing. Hit a few sandy bays where the water temps were just right and counted 3, 5, 8 pike at a time depending on the bay we were in. One bay, a well kept secret apparently had 20+ pike in it on wednesday. 

 

I didn't manage to catch any pike bigger than 27 inches but we spotted a few pushing 40". Could NOT get them to bite though. 

 

After 3 days of pike fishing I did some jigging for walleye. We landed 7 or 8 16"-19" males and then the perch rolled in and we started losing all our minnows. Just as we were getting fed up BAM... This cow chomped down. 32.5 inches and easily over 12 lbs.

Put her back to grow some more! Strong healthy fish. 

 

 

If anyone fishes Georgian Bay either out of parry sound or north out of Point Au Baril PM me. I would love to share notes.

 

I would also love to hear from anyone fishing pike around Toronto. I grew up in Parry Sound but live and work in Toronto now. Feel kinda lost about where to begin up here. 

Fish ON!
