Beating the Skunking with (2) N.Pike

Spring was late showing up with ice-out less than two weeks ago… I finally found some time to do a little shore fishing to test the pulse out on the reservoir. Using an eight ounce jig/swim bait combo I search for the bite during the solunar Minor.Period I nearly come up empty but just one fish on/off.

 

I head to another shore access in town and cast thru the rest of the Minor.Period with just one catch… a zebra mussel!

 

Returning to the original lake later that after-noon the bite finally starts to pick up with 3 fish on and two landed as the Major.Period starts to kick in.

 

Water temps zoomed up to upper 50’s to low 60’s with a couple 70+ degree days. Fishing will get better as the season progresses of course.

 

Keep those lines tight!
