I've been getting killed in the Pike tally lately, but I did add one to the list today. A mere 21" weed rocket, but better than a skunking. Fish was in 10' of water off a rock point. Deep weeds are...

We put in a long day of fishing. I missed a couple of pike early in the morning then landed a 21" large scale sucker on a big swimbait. This is the second time I've done this, and I'm starting to th...

We fished early on a hot, hot day. We didn't slay the pike, per say, boating a total of 4, all 25" or less. We did better for pike a little deeper, and caught bass on weeds, some of them decent. Tw...

I fished for a little more than an hour on Saturday night and caught 5 pike plus two quick releases right by the boat. I fished for an hour Sunday morning and missed a few, but they weren't as aggres...

I'm going to call this a post-spawn pattern. I think the pike are still recovering, and some warm, stable weather would do them good. The small jacks are getting after it, though, with lots of short...

This is a kind of a two day report for me, though I only fished for about 3 hours Saturday night and 3 hours Sunday morning. The water is colder now than it was a week ago in Coeur d' Alene. The war...

Perch are up where I was in the south end of the lake. They are schooled up and haven't spawned, much to my surprise. They're looking fat and almost ready to pop. The girls are full of eggs and ooz...

I got in a couple of hours again today for some pike in the sun. Nothing big, but the action was pretty fast. Lots of small pike were sunning, and many could be sight fished and fooled. I landed fi...

I had a multispecies day and a few surprises. This was my first trip since hard water season, and in the middle of an extended period of unseasonably warm weather. The water ranged from a cold 48 de...

The time came today for me to wrap up open water fishing. It's always sad to have to take the boat out of the water for the last time of the year and make that one last cast. On the plus side, the r...

First I will say this... it's amazing how fish can change their preferences in just 4 days, even in relatively stable weather. Second, I will say this... I'm glad I found them again! As it turned ou...

I fished solo today for about five hours. The good news is that the open water season continues! The water is up, and is only about 2' below summer levels. The hydrograph I sometimes check in with ...

I got a chance to sneak away to the lake for 3 hours of fishing with my 2 year old daughter. The high point was snapping a picture of her next to a small pike that was worthy of use on our Christmas ...
