Finally we have open water! Latest winter ice I have yet seen. Anyways went to skunk for pike and was not dissapointed. Lots of post spawn fish actively feeding and we did well. I caught 6 fish, most being about 5 lbs with the biggest at 16. Smelt, minnows, and artificial worked.
Crappie were also there, they are still in pre spawn, will need to look for when they move and see if I can’t target them year round there.
