Water Wolf:
Hi everyone,

On May 9th I went shore fishing for an hour and a half just to say I went on opening weekend,  it sure felt good. 8)

My mom and a friend came with me just to see how the fishing was like.
I was the only one fishing, but my friend helped me net the fish and mom took the photos.

It was a dark and windy day, but the fish were still cooperative.

On my very first cast I had a tap so I pitched the lure to the same spot, gave the reel a turn, BANG, fish on! :)

A fair fight ensued despite the water being quite cold and I land my first fish of the open water season, a long and lean 6.5lb pike.

As I was removing the fish from the net, it grabbed my pointer finger and slashed the top of it from the nail to the knuckle. :unsure:
It is still stiff and sore today.
I have heard if you are not bleeding, you are not pike fishing, I guess I proved that theory,lol ::)

Here is the rest of the action.

6lbs


5.5lbs


5lbs


4lbs


This was the last fish I caught before we left, and the big fish of the day at 7lbs. :)


I think their aggression was due to the approaching storm plus they looked to be very hungry from the spawn.

Most of the fish were really gaunt and sunken in around the stomach area and everyone of them had cuts, holes and scratches all up and down their bodies plus split fins.
The spawn must have been a rough one for them.

Out of the 3 fish I kept one was totally empty, one had a minnow and a few leeches in it and the third had mostly digested pike that would have been 9" long.

All in all it was a fun hour and a half for me, with lots of action and I am happy with my results this early in the season.

I hope everyone also had a good start to their season. :)
