Small lakes bit trout! Jigging small plastics for rainbows and browns and all I felt next was a huge bump and my little light-med ice rod bent over tip to butt!
Large bays with inlets and sunken weed beds are key to finding big fall time pike, this one couldn't resist the Hybrid Pike on the steady retrieve with the occasional spin stop thrown in for good measure.
This awesome beast was waiting in the depths for its next meal when my bait landed right above her on the surface. One big all mighty splash and a tight line she was on!
