Haley and I finally managed to get on some pike at Lewis and Clark today. She got her biggest fish at 12lbs and we got a lot of smaller ones too. Also some white bass. The next day was the same. Also 2 nice cat fish were caught, 1 each day.
We were down near the marina on the shallow side of the bay, seemed like some good action there. Water temp was around 50 degrees.
Went back to lunds again on the 19th and got next to nothing. It was colder and sunny. Today though it was our first 70 degree and warm day with warmer windy days the last 3 and it paid off! I must have caught 20 white bass and a 20 inch walleye. Rooke also got a nice 8 lb pike.
I also got my first pike on the fly!! And on my fly
Finally open water!!! Ok lunds was half open, weather was low 50s, windy, and cloudy but the white bass were stacked in the culvert in like 3 feet if water. A few male pike were there as well, and I caught one at 10 lbs! Feasting on the white bass I think as I saw one attack one and the pike had what looked like one in its stomach. First real bit of warm weather though so the start of real spring.
Lake finally started opening up today so I got to fish a little. Outside edge of jetty was dead so went to lunds where there was still ice on lake but bay was mostly free. Ended up catching 5 makes fom 1 to 7 lbs on a storm minnow. Smelt was basically dead as were minnows oddly.
