Screw them and their tags..
Love the vids Brandon but do you ever work lol Wish I had time to fish as much as you
So what was the size on they various minnows they are using to catch the big pike. I usually just use big herring, anchovies and mackerel like 8-10 inches in length.
Really that isn't even that big.
I was surprised as well but the lighter minnow gives an slower drop when jigged.
So you were jigging them or they were on a Windlass or other jigging tip up?
Both types....either method produced some big pike. The hook color combined with fluorocarbon line made for a quick strike. Red hook is hard to see in the water. Action was slow with only one fish an hour. In both cases we were set up 100 feet from a weed bed. The still one did have more strikes on it. Hope that helps...happy pike hunting.
Interesting, thanks for the tips. Sounds like how we fish for them at Pinehurst, except we're about 100 yards off a weed bed 10 feet of water on a sand flat. We usually get the best action on the Windlass Tip ups though and the biggest fish. Does depend on their mood though..Thanks for all the information. I always like to hear what other people are doing out there.
