I took this young man out on his first pike fishing trip 3 weeks ago and got him his first ever pike, a 5lber. He is now hooked. He went a couple of days ago with an aunt and uncle and they got a couple of pike fishing the Pend Oreille River. Today I took him back to the Pend Oreille. Within the first 5 minutes, 7 casts to be exact he hooked his new personal best. a 9lb 4oz 32" pike. On the day we landed 5 pike, the two best being his 9+ and my 8lber, and one LMB that went 4lb 7oz. all fish were caught on spinnerbaits in about 6 or 7 feet of water. The fish were holding tight to the weedbeds. We found nothing on the flats next to the beds. we saw a ton of LMB and SMB on the flats but couldn't get them to bite. The one bass I got was in deep weed cover. Other than my new this year MinnKota trolling motor going out on me, we had a pretty good day. We lost the motor in the first half hour of the day but were still able to use the breeze and current to our advantage and move around and still catch a few fish. Congrats on the new personal best fish Scott. Stick with it, I'll make a fishermen out of you yet. Happy fishing.
