Looking for tips from the resident Northern Pike fishermen here. I've got a tackle box full of various lures, baits(stink and normal), and lines.
I've got several packages of unused steel leaders already. What would work the best. I've always understood that Dardevles work good, and the bigger Rapalas.
Pike haven't been in this river very long, but up north of where I live, I understand that people are catching them up to 32"(which is a monster for this river), and I feel it is my duty to get in on some of that action.[:D] Also, there's no limit on them[:p], the F&G want them gone.
Thanks.[:)][8D]

An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

1/4 stick of tnt does wonders!!
I like the way you think!
I figured a few Dupont Spinners might come in handy.[:D][:D][;)]

White Spinner Baits also have served me well.
It was last year but, it was late July of last year.
The man was slow rolling HUGE "swim baits" in deep water...
By huge i mean 5-7" perch or trout lookin swim baits.Long casts and a steady retrieve. Vary your speed and depth till u find a pattern..
Good luck and please. TAKE PIX!!
Blue Fox #5 inline spinner. I have caught many northern and a few muskies over the past 10 years with this lure.

I've got a couple Blue Fox's that size, mostly blue, IIRC. I know I've got a bunch of Mepps spinners as well, quite a bit smaller though.
If u are gona go "stick" (DYNO) "HERCULESE" makes a stronger blast!!
Dang, all I've got for Hercules products are a couple pounds of 2400.[:D][;)]
I hope you have a great day out there.....

Do yourself a big favor and get some Large Golden Shiner minnows, screw the lures! You can't beat live bait!
Just got down to the river, and the sky started turning black, so I hightailed it back home. Didn't feel like turning myself and the Jeep into a 45mph lightning rod.[:0]
Oh well, there's always tomorrow I guess.
Steel leaders too!
Good luck!!
