Pike Patterns

[outfishin]

When do you guys/gals think the big Pike will be out of the shallow bays and into deeper water? Just wondering if anybody is still catching them shallow or have they moved out to deeper hunting grounds? My understanding is that in late spring/early summer small Pike tend to hang around shallow weedy bays, mid sized Pike hang around weed edges to those weedy bays and larger Pike head out to points and deeper grounds. I suppose it all depends on water temps.

Any thoughts?

They are out of the shallows now. I'll be doing another trip this week with Bob Formosa who I did the story with and I'll let you know how we did out there.

Sounds good. Good Luck!

We did get up to the Moon and the fishing was good but not on fire. We did see a couple of huge pike, one north of 20. Had her on for a few seconds and after she came undone she swam right under the boat just to tease us. The next day was dead and we only caught 4 fish. The bass were driving us nuts.

Good thing Bass opens up this weekend. I think it's been the same everywhere, tons of bass smashing everything. You just wait, they won't be hitting at all when the season opens up! lol. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Good luck out there.
