The Drumdog and I squeezed in a few hurs of pike fishing after work tonight. We hit a few spots on the north end of Coeur d'Alene lake, and only managed 1 pike and a couple of little smallmouth for our efforts. The pike was 30" and 7lbs. but he was a game fighter as usual. Slimey little bugger to. We fished spinnerbaits, husky jerks, and spoons but the only taker wanted the good ol orange spinnerbait. There is a ton of fantastic looking water there. I have been amazed that we haven't found more fish in it. Happy Fishing
