A couple of great pike days ! (pix)

[Msgdan]

I finally had a chance to hit the river on Monday and Tuesday for a couple of hours each day..   The river is still high,  but the water was clear and it gave me a chance to throw spinner baits above the weed beds.

The pike were hungry and aggressive !     I landed close to 25 pike in the two trips, launching in a few different spots........Nothing big,  but most were in the 24 to 28 inch range........I had a few bass and about 10 perch in the mix too.....but really pissed that I lost what would have been my personal best small mouth bass and a really nice large mouth bass on 2 consecutive casts !!!!   The smallie jumped about 4 times close to the kayak before getting off....

Here are a few pictures from the 2 trips.
