Pike fishing

I went out with a couple of freinds to catch some channel cats in his dads pond

Well the cats were not hungery
So Steve ( the owners son ) and I went pike fishing
Grabbed a boat and electric motor
This is a 5 acer pond with several miles of drainage and dike channels hooked to it
We have releases pike , bass , crappie , Blue Gill , catfish and chub's into at least into it
Already carp and suckers from the creek

The other 2 guys worked on a 12 pack of beer and left to get more

Well no big Pike
About 24" was the largest
But we got 15 or so between the 2 of us before I had to leave around 2
Most were around 18"


Best lure was a unweighted 7" shad colored Zoom Fluke
Rigged weedless
Worked along the feild side of the channels
Steve had 1 pike on the was .....well larger than any of the others
But it got into some logs and broke off

Best catch was a 9" crappie I caught on a 5" Fluke
It must have been hungery :pickle:

Nothing went home ....well almost nothing
I took the full bag of beer cans
