Default May Long Pike Slay

Made a trip to Northwest Saskatchewan to a lake we have fished several times but never this early in the year. Well.... we got on them lol. Pretty crazy 2 days.....heavy smoke and ash in and out....crazy wind off and on from every direction....and piles and piles of huge fish. The pike fishing was insane and we found some nice walleye too.

Nicely done

My best pike fishing have been windy days where I found bait fish pushed into an area of the lake

Too bad about the smoke. Hope I can find a place where it’s at least thinner next set off

hahaha oops... This is what happens when you have too many threads and tabs opened up at the same time. My response was meant for another thread with the Bull Snake post wondering if they were edible. Please disregard.
