Yesterday at Waywayanda Lake in Vernon New Jersey : Nephew caught 3 Pickerel on some Made in China shallow running long and thin Crankbait ,15,16,17".I got Two .One Trolling a Little Cleo (16") and one casting a Kalin Grub (12") Brother Greg lost one Pickerel on a Dardevle Flutter Chuck Spoon.
Got this years first and only Pickerel so far from the bank the other day around 3pm on a 32nd oz tube jig/ spin.It was only about 15" but it was a cool take in a shallower area of Sally's pond. There seemed to be Pickerel or perhaps Bass as well feeding in a NW 'finger' in the pond .I was wishing I had my waders to get a cast out to them better. I saw the wake behind my bait and knew it had to be a Pickerel. Saw the take and turn and knew when to set the hook .It was a cool site!
Also I 've seen Pickerel feeding just outside or inside 'fingers' that come up to shallower depths before . .A good ambush point and now I look for them . NW coves this time of year in deeper lakes too.
no ice fishing for me this year:( ill be open water fishing on Saturday, im getting excited
Good Luck John! be sure to post a pic for us!
Looking for my 1st Ice Pickerel.
Should be Pickerel in the shallows right about now!
