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.

Should be Pickerel in the shallows right about now!

Andre-Curious if that worm was just sittin' there or you were moving it . Pickerel in my experence usually attack while the bait is moving .Sometimes real fast retreives make them commit .At times I 've reeled in a bait quickly ,see a Pickerel in pursuit ,drop the bait and the fish takes it off the bottom right there in front of me at my feet.
