Join Derrek Stewart and myself as we find un charted waters on Great Bear Lake during our Plummer's Lodges trip to find and catch the bigger Pike in that area.
Very nice video Bill! You fished the water very intelligently, nicely done! Would've been fun to have seen you fish an 8" floating BBZ-1 Silverfish but it was fun watching how you adjusted to your conditions and fished what they wanted instead! Pike seem to really kill those BBZ-1's. LOL
The greatest tip I ever read was about the guy who set World records trolling for giant musky in 100 ft of water in the St. Lawrence river in the summer. He found the big fish like 55 degree water both Musky and Pike. That was interesting as you said 68 degrees was your water temp on the surface. Explains why you only caught small until you went deeper. I now think water temp all the time and regularly fish where very few others are fishing even on a crowded lake. The last guy I showed a picture of the biggest I caught and released on a popular lake told me "You didn't catch that fish in this lake. It only has hammer handle sized fish!" I didn't bother to explain the water temp thing but I did feel sorry for his closed mind. Think of how many people catch a giant pike while jigging in deep water for walleye.
Even when I am keeping a fraction of the fish I catch I use barbless. If you know how to to hook and land a fish you will use barbless. Awesome vid fellas
Thanks for the info. We are limited in the gear we can take up north and being on a lake with no one around we are trying to protect not only the fish but ourselves. getting big pike wrapped up in a net or hooking one of use does way more damage in the overall big picture of things. Thanks again for watching and will try different ways in our next trip.
Pike is delicious. They're nuisance fish most places here in CO - No size min/max, if you catch it, get it out of the water. They really jack up our trout population. I've eaten many a fish-stick sized pike :)
Well, I did and sorry you do not like it. They day started at 7 am and ended at 2 am. SO I had to cut down around 15 hours of film and 2 plus hours of driving to and from 1 spot. If you think this is bad because of the edits, then you should have seen hours upon hours of just driving and boat and zero fish catches. LOL
dont get me wrong i did like the video from the beginning but too many cuts appeared and it was anoying to me i wanted to see you taking out the fish from water continuously . good luck next trips .
Why go through all the scouting,graph study,and riding around only to look at its head and the fans cant see nothing but head? I have seen it here!!! I would hate to see you bass fishing with your new and"unimproved"catch and release tactics smh
