I was actually in the cove today too. I caught a couple large mouths on a Rapala X Rap, Black and Gold, saw a couple Pike. My brother caught a few schoolies, not much size to them though.

I've only seen them in there during spawn season. I'm pretty sure there's only one Hamburg Cove but I may be wrong. But they're definately in there!

Yea I would think if bass can hang in Hamburg, pike prob can too. Anyone ever seen a smallmouth in Hburg??

I can count on one hand how many pike I have seen come out of Hamburg Cove in the last 15 years. I ONCE caught a SMALLIE in the big cove in the same time frame. I only fish there in spring/fall. Someone fill in the blanks for summer time.
