Stay away from the weeds. Pike are stalkers that ambush their prey.
Pickerel are bottom cruisers that use speed to hunt from the dark deeper, colder water.
If you catch any walleye send them packing back to 'Merica.
I was deep, deep, deep, today ... 50 feetstrsight down of Canadian Shield chasm ... caught a beautiful Pike.

The fish always laugh at me.

I'd cast and let my hook drift down to 49 feet. The Pike just have followed it down because I was deep when it hit.
They smoke nicely.
Drop your rig or jig to bottom, crank up 60cm and wait.

The pike saw the flash. Pickerel smell the bait.

Trout are visual hunters like pike and strike at a flash.

Keep in mind a fish can see 1000X better out of the water than you can see in.

Smoked pike steaks are good. Yup

The pickerel weren't hitting, today. Not for nobody.

If that was the only fish you caught all year how much would it be worth? (add in all possible expenses)

(buy 10 whitefish from an Indian behind the Rez Store)

It's not the only fish and we're staying with a family member, not some sort of fishing lodge.... not an expensive getaway.
