nice fish

thank's dan...not bad to start my 2009 pike fishing on my kayak

did you try ny dead baiting, at this time of year til about may dead baits are best, spinners, lure and plugs are more of a summer sport. find a weedy bay surrounded in reeds and fish your bait about 5 yards away from the reeds, dont fish ny more than about 1 foot over depth but about 1-2 feet up off the bottom is best, roach i have found best as a deadbait punctured through the swim bladder. size 6-8 trebbles.

you may pick up more fish.
