Was out at Swan Lake on Monday just west of Caroline. Trolled and casted just about all day long. Had some luck but not like at the end of the day. Casted out a split-back or jointed 6in. white bottom and dark top minnow and let it sit until all ripples are gone. Then one little tug, wait, another little tug, wait, another little tug and then the jaws from the deep swallowed that like candy. BAM 5lbs. of pike. Back she goes and three more after that in about 15min. then it was dark. When all else fails after a day like that and the water is smooth like glass, the sun is going fast, that is MY choice of pike lure. Has not failed me yet. Still go home with a smile and some lies.
