Default pigeon lake report

went to Mulhurst bay at around 11:00 today and saw no whites, walleye or jack, caught one small perch. Went to Ma-me-o around 2:30 and saw 3 whites but no takers, caught one decent walleye and my biggest pike to date, weighed in at a shade over 17 lbs and 39 1/2 inches(100 cm exactly) which took awile to get up through the hole. Will post a pic if I can ever figure out how.Also lost another good jack at the hole
Mulhurst is not bad driving but Ma-me-o requires 4 x 4.
I would love to get some whites if anybody could point me to a hot spot.

Default try again

Out to Pigeon again tomorrow with a buddy to try for some whites. starting at Ma-me-o but may try and get over to the park if slow there. will let you know how it goes. If all else fails we will have homemade perogies and deer sausage fried up on the ice. YUMMY !!
PS. cooked up half that big jack for supper tonight and 4 of us couldn't eat it all

17 lb. pike for shore lunch. So much for keeping the spawners in the lake.

I have heard in the past that as evening comes on the whites move up into the shallows and start to feed abit more aggressivly. A particularly good spot is strait off the beach at the P.P. where is goes from about 10-12 ft all the way up to about 4 ft.

Default give it a rest!!

so some of you are complaining about me keeping a big jack, well for starters it's legal so it's okay, also it's the first jack i've kept in 3 years and I fish alot so I hope I never see those complaining keep any jack, or walleye,or whites or or any fish as they all have a roll in the reproductive chain, regardless of size, if not now in a few years.
give the morality police a rest, thats why we have rules for wildlife and I and many others follow them to the letter. Keep you personal beliefs PERSONAL please.
By the way went out to ma-me -o today and caught 5 jack, 1 legal, C & R !!
and 2 whitefish, kept em both

I didn't say it was "BAD" to keep a fish. Just doesn't make alot of sense keeping the 17lber. for the table. But your right it is legal.

I must disagree..., as long as there are regulations and they are followed it should be all good, there are people in the fish and wildlife commision that debate, plan and set the rules, right ?? 17 LBS jack that means more food on the table but I must agree that the smaller ones taste better....
I wanted to ask , the smaller jacks, don't they spawn as well ????

and myself I love jack fry fish, to me it's almost the same as walleye fry...

CHeers !
