Ontario Pike - 6.11.09 by Pasha Lake on 06/11/2009 We headed out again today in search of Monster Pike and weren't disappointed! Again, we were able to target the big females as they are in recovery mode, post spawn. The big fish weren't as concentrated today, however a couple of variables might have played into today's bite. We are in the middle of a cool down, and as the day worn on, things became cloudy, windy and a bit chilly. I also noted water temps have increased a couple of degrees from 48 to 49 to 50 to 52. Despite the weather changes, we were still able to boat 5 - 6 pike over 40 inches, the biggest a hair over 45 inches. I was able to contribute to the big fish board with my two pike, one 41 inches and the other just under 44 inches. I had to troll a bit farther today, however I stuck with one presentation that worked extremely well. The orange backed, gold bellied, Blue Fox #2 Minnow Bait landed me a nice variety of eaters in addition to the two trophies. The other variable that has been present in the last two outings is sucker fish. I am not up to speed on when they spawn, however, they are up close and personal with the big pike, which, to me, would seem a risky cohabitation. It was a nice tell, where we saw sucker fish, we caught pike. 41"er ended the day as the weather turnedTrolling and casting worked well today. Trolling seemed to land more eaters in addition to the big pike. Until next time.
