Gull Lake, Jan 28th 2014
Thanks to the help of some of the members on this forum I had some good luck my first day on Gull, but man did we WORK HARD for the fish, we drove on from brownlows and setup just near brownlows the first time we set up ( near the hut with the trees in front of it) (Saw one whitefish and a bunch of TINY perch) but caught nothing and after another 45mins we saw nothing so we moved up more towards the north end of the lake, caught one decent perch there, then we stayed for another hour and caught only a few tiny perch so we moved back to brownlows, seems that was a good idea! So we get there and catch a bunch of keeper perch, and smaller perch, SO after I release one of the smaller perch (2-3 inch) my dad decides to put a jig and smelt down the hole since he was tired of catching perch, a BIG pike comes in and eats the 2-3 inch perch I just released, swims away for a bit, (my dad said it'll be back) no doubt two minutes later he comes back munches on the jig with the whole smelt and we waited until he got it in his mouth good before we set the hook, and we hook it! We brought it up on the medium action rod with 6lb test and luckily not the ultra light with 4lb we used for perch, ultimately we caught the one big pike and almost our limit of perch (8) we caught all the perch on a yellow and a copper wire worm (without maggots) saw a bunch of whites pulled up by other groups (and a nice burbot) but not by us, but I am more than happy with what we ended up catching! Thanks again guys for the help!
