Yeah, dad called last night to say that the neighbor got 2 pike on minnows just off the bottom in 12' of water yesterday.

gutted them and tossed them back in the pond as fertalizer. no pics, though.

i'm going back up in 2 weeks to help paint the deck. any and all tips that continue to flow in are more than welcome. I love catching the pike, and dad loves getting them out of the pond. So.....keep em coming!

Again, the rat'l trap seems to be a huge +. even last week the only pike seen were seen following traps. I wonder why that is. the bass wouldn't bite them, but the pike followed them.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
