all in all spring and fall are my favorite times for pikes and pickerels. the other day i landed a huge 4 pounder pickerel (that deystrod my lure) the aggression of these fish is amazing and sight fishing for them.
Still looking for my first water wolf but caught a 3lb pick my first time out this year and just recently a healthy 2lber. A lot of the bass fisherman consider these guys pests,and the small ones are.When you land a big one they can fight with the best of em.Caught a 5lber few years back and to this day it was the best fresh water fight I ever had that includes the 7lb bass in my picture(at least that I landed anyway)
