nice fish sled and its very good to hear that they are still swimming

Sled-

I hadnt heard of that strike pro xbuster before - and looked it up.

It looks interesting - and also a little expensive.

Is it worth the price? is it more of a shallow bait?

What colors did you use for the pike?

I may order one - but want to get the hot color!

Thanks!

Hoffer,

as far as is the lure worth the money. Its the first time I used it and it caught 2 nice pike. My son gave it to me for my birthday. I will buy another thats for sure. The one I used is a perch colored. The bait runs pretty shallow and it swims like a fish. The fish really pounded it.

Good luck

Saw this fluttering around, I'll probably never see this again.

Crazy picture. That little pike must have been starving!

[trappingaddiction]

The dead one looks larger than he is.

It must have just happened before I seen them. They were both good and alive. I cut the jaw on the one. The other swam away just fine. I got it all on video, trying to put it on you tube.

Not a big northern by any means, but it was such a scenic picture! 10/11/2010 (Also caught an 11" bluegill - posted in the blugill/crappie section for anyone interested!)

Haven't been doing much open water pike fishing this summer, but here's one 30-32 incher that came Sunday while fishing walleyes on Vermilion. Hit a 7-inch creek chub.

nice fish. love that area. good luck.

Here is one I got during mid-summer this year casting for shallow walleyes. Didn't measure it, but estimated around mid to upper 30's in length.

A great day fishing with my good friend Todd.

Here's a three-footer from the other day. He hit a 10" soft swimbait while I was targeting muskies.

Anyone know of a good lake for pike fishing around brainerd? I want to put my spear house out, but being new to the area has kept me from doing so...I've heard a little here and there, but havent received any solid reports for pike lakes...Can anyone help me out with a good lake to see and catch alot of pike/not just 1pounders?

Thank you

[Acemac]

All the lakes are pretty good for pike in that area. Gull has some monsters, north long would be ok, South long both upper and lower have good poulations of pike and lots of panfish. head a tad north and hit mitchel or kego for some sucluded areas.

Very nice, that's a monster pike! Had to have been fun on that light gear too!!

caught this guy on Sunday while fishing for Sunnies on a metro lake. Was fishing a mud bug with a waxie and decided "one more fish" and I was going to pack it in. as soon as I said that something heavy took my lure and despite an UL rod and 2# line from last year I was able to reel him in. Just barley hooked on the edge of the lip. I was by myself and I couldnt get my tape measure to work one handed and I wanted to CPR so all I got was this crappy cell pic. Best I can tell with its tail touching the ground it went partway up my thigh. I was so impressed by this fish in this small of a Metro lake I was determined to put it back unharmed.

Looks like it has not missed a meal. Nice fish!
