Hit dad's pond a little bit this past weekend. Got a couple of skinny, summer bass, one black crappie on a minnow, and a couple of those warmouth (i think they are warmouth, maybe rock bass, but i don't remember the orangish-red eye). plus about a thousand bluegill on hot-dogs with one of the neighbor's grandkids (that never gets old...at least when there are kids around).

Not a pike caught by anyone i know for the last 2 visits. April we couldn't keep them off the lure.

I know we haven't exterminated them, because you can still see them cruising the weed beds, i even saw one cruise past while swimming.

Do pike slow down drastically in the summer? I know they do much better than other fish in cold weather.

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.
