Sunday on the River

Hit the CT River today from 10am to about 3pm with "FishinSchmoe". First off- Thanks for having me out with you John and teaching me a thing or two about pike fishing- truely appreciated! Secondly- The bite was slow going today. We hit a spot that he had fished in the past with luck, but all we could get were tiny bumps. We saw a few in the shallows spooking out baitfish and leaving clouds behind in the water but for a long while all we were catching was a stick or tree or two. We tried a bunch of stuff between us: spinnerbaits, inline roostertail style spinners, daredevils, etc. I then through a bullet weight and a texas-rigged white salted zoom and hooked into the only fish of the day- a 4.8lb pike. This was my first pike ever boated (I hooked into one last year and it snapped my line), so I was excited. John essentially said "Yeah kid, great. Wait until you hook into a 10+ lber." Well man, I can't wait! haha. Great day on the water 8) Absolutely gorgeous weather, air temp around 55, water temp on average 44, shallow water 1-5 feet deep. I got a pic, once I load it onto my computer I'll post it in this thread.
