Independance/North lakes

[Little Roober]

Started out the day at independance from 8-10 with one missed pike on a slammer and a few gills were pulled out around us. We switched to North lake and got there around 11:00. Got set up and the fishing was slow so I put out a jigging Rap tipped with a minnow. Within 5 minutes of that I had a huge hit on my UL Bad Dog rod and pulled up a 25 in pike. The pic is in my gallery. After that the gills and perch were hitting off and on but no keepers. Independance ice was about 6 inches as was North, but north had a little half frozen slush on top.

Good luck, Steve

Nice pike and thanks for the report. I plan on getting out on North real soon.

The pike had eggs in it. Is there any easy way to cure them? Or can I just freeze them in the little package they conveniently come in?I'd be using them soon so they wont have to last years.


thx, steve
