wow. 30'' is a nice fish, you should post atleast a funny picture with one, have some fun with it.I am at the point where i am questioning my skills and just getting flustrated all year long this year. i am very confused right now about my fishing technigues and whatnot, i am a bass fisher man and have had the worst year in atleast 5 years now, i would love to catch some nice pike, since i have never cought or tried for one. If you can send me some tips or what not i would really really appreciate it. the catch is i only have a 12' aluminum with a 30 thrust trolling motot dont; know if i can work with that or not. Let me know if you can, i also hear you have a good chance f catching some nice lmb while fishing for the big guys too. t-webbs@hotmail.com. I guess you can e-mail me throught here too, i think that is my e-mail address. thanks again and stay safe out there, lets see some pictures.

Thanks for the post, I'm wish'n I was fish'n the P.O.R. for those Pike, small or not. Did you hit Mel's slough or is the water too low.?Are our favorite sloughs weeded out now? How about "One Bull Island" been there recently? It was nice to catch that first Tiger and more to come (Curlew). Good luck and good fish'n. Power to the Pike >:"":>.

Sparky all the sloughs are dry and weedy. I havent been down to one bull island lol. Pretty much fishing the main river now. Hope you have a chance to make it over again for some more Pike fun before Oct.
