Happy fishing

Nice couple of pike,only caught one in my life and it was about 6" long.

I get a lot of bass when I'm pike fishing using flouro leaders. What water depths were you fishing when you located the pike?

5/11/2014 2:07:00 PMWe were hitting the pike in 3ft. of water pretty much where you would expect Bass to hit, was actually alot of fun not knowing what was going to hit next. first time i have fished the Couer dalene area in over a decade. My partner needs to upgrade to the 50LBS. he has the Mono, i was using 50 Lbs. fireline.
