On Friday I took a vacation day, while having lunch I got a text from my friend Andrew wanting to know if we wanted to go fishing. We settled on some pike fishing on Porcupine lake. We drove over and picked Andrew up and went down to Deadman's point. The spot we wanted to try was a rock point Jenn and I catch decent sized perch off of. We hiked about a kilometer over some skidoo trails and shin deep snow and we reached the point and set up about 30 meters off the point. The water was around 6 ft deep and an hour later we moved a further out and into 8-10 ft of water. After a wait of about half an hour Jenn got a big hit on her minnow and then it let go a few seconds later it hit again and then again, Jenn set the hook and pulled a nice pike through the hole . Andrew was next to pull in a pike on his minnow. Using a rapala jigging shad I pulled a pike in as well. Throughout the afternoon we lost a bunch of hits and in the end Jenn pulled in 4 pike on minnows and lost several and nearly lost her rod down a hole, I pulled in 4 pike with the rapala and lost it to another pike and when I switched to a Williams silver spoon I was pulled off balance by a sudden and violent hit and a split second later a loud snap sounded as the pike snapped my line taking my second lure of the day. Andrew also had great success pulling in 4 pike a perch and a nice sized walleye. It was excellent day spent fishing and finally some successes after a long winter fruitlessly fishing.
