The fall pike bite on Cda Lake just might be starting to hit it's stride. Cooler overnight lows have brought the water temps down into the mid 50's and the fish were a bit more active yesterday. We fished 7 or 8 diffrent spots. Of course some produced better than others but there were fish at all of them. The fish were consistantly in about 6-8 feet of water and hit spinnerbaits and glide baits. Between the two of us we released 13 pike and missed several more. Bright colors were the ticket to getting their attention. Weather couldn't have been better. Cloudy, and NO WIND!! Finally. Had a agreat day on the water fishing with my brother. He found out the pike don't like lures that have too much dust on them. I guess if he wants to catch more fish, he needs to move his rods and tackle out in front of the golf clubs instead of hiding them in the back of the closet. Of the 13 pike we released, 5 of them were 30" or bigger with the biggest being a 35" 12 pounder and a 34" 9 1/2 pounder. I did my best to practice the "Not so vetical" hold while taking the photos. All fish swam away strongly to fight another day.

Nice fish! Which glide bait has been working for you? Is it jointed or solid?

Sorry for the slow response. I don't look back at my own osts too often. I have been using the Rapala Glidin Rap. It's a single solid glide bait. Unfortunately Rapala has discontinued making it and the only way to buy them is in an online auction. When I saw how hard they were to get I found a place in England that had them.
