Fortunately the main project was done few days before our almost annual trip to a cottage in Lake Of Bays area. A small lake there seems to produce few pike each year. Cannot find them in numbers, but the size seems pretty good to keep a few. Friday evening caught 3. This is my first pike of the season.

Caught 4 pike and an SMB close to 50cm which gave a hell of a fight. The last pike happened to be the biggest and chunky. Forgot to measure, but it is probably the best in the last 3-4 years.

I always say work gets in the way of everything i want to do. Glad you got out and hope it’s not to busy to enjoy some more fishing.

Thank you, Longshank.

I think you thought it was RITBO's report. I do target lakers from time to time, but not as much as him
