Sunil, you are very correct, and throughout the weekend they flowed like water.
Unfortunately, nary a pike was caught, although 2 were spotted following lures up to the paddleboat, both times folloowing rat-l-traps. what is it about the trap that interests them so much? the action? the noise?
Fishing was generally slow all weekend, even the skinny bass only bit a few times, usually on whacky worms uber-deep in the center of the lake. I have some pics of the skinny bass to post, as well as a few shots of the lake to post as well.
All in all it was an awesome weekend, lots of swiming, the nephews reeling in tons of bluegill (which seem to have grown exponentially since winter, i have a few pics of that to post as well....). thanks to the latest PB edition i think i have them identified as native gills, warmouth (hoping i don't have that mis-id'ed, and it is a gsf), and a very rare pumpkinseed.
But yeah, everything was just hanging out in the deep water, not very interested in eating what we had to offer. Hot dogs again reeled in the most, bluegill and bass.
But no pike. Dad and my brother & kids are still up there, and will probably fish at least a little bit all week, if they get one i am sure i'll get a pic to post.
thanks, all, i'll be getting up there again in a few weeks, and hopefully we'll get a few more of the toothy bastards.
