22 Pike in 2 Hours

Just have to put up a report, no need for lake name (although ive slipped before as well). If someone wants to know they can always PM you. Then you have the choice of letting them in on the secret you can also see how many posts they have and can confirm if they are a lurker or not.

Keep up the reports

highly doubt you caught 22 pike in 2 hours on Mitchel just saying, that lake is really hurting last 3 years, ive fished it for the last 17 yrs regularly and I have never had a day like that nor herd even close lol especially with the number of boats parading the little lake now lol and advertising that you catch 22 pike in 2 hrs with no pics maybe its just me but its highly unlikey its a really small lake and that's just asking for this lake to get overfished not that it already isn't.

I am just going to Pm you, as I do not want to squabble over a post.

I fished Mitchell for the first time today and caught 3 pile and my buddy got a walleye ! I had no idea there was walleye

lol. I know thi is an older post but I just found this forum. MITCHELL is full of pike and everyone should be taking their limit IMHO. It is a nursery which makes it easy to actually remove young fish before they make it to breeding age.

Pike are open year round because they are a threat to the kawartha strain of muskie. In the past 7 years of fishing mitchell/balsam my friends and I have pulled at least 600 pike out of the lakes. I have only seen an increse in fish caught and the sizes getting larger.

This year has been crazy. 20 fish in a couple hours is usually what mitchell produces. One bass opener I boated 14 pike 9 largies and a 43" tiger from 6-9 am.

Yes, but the pike does not fight like a bass.
I do prefer to fight a SM and release him than to fight a pike and keep it.
