Mid summer is a great time to fish for Pike - but instead of the Pike being in shallow water they will go deeper and hide in the cabbage that has grown and wait for bait fish to swim by - best lure to use during this time is a weedless spoon. Look at the Johnson Silver Minnow - they have all sorts of patterns. This year I threw the Chrome Trout, fire tiger and 5 of diamonds. All worked great.
What the hell do you need a cell phone for? Remember you are going to get away. You must not be in the wilderness of Canada because where I go there are no cell phone towers. Again why fly into a camp and be hooked to a phone. You appear to be of an age that doesn’t need to be on a cell playing games and staying in touch with the crazy world constantly.
So what are you saying in 2024? Makes me sick--on our last fly-in, there were iPads, laptops, phones, satellite radio, etc. I was tempted more than once to get up in the night and throw all that crap in the lake. You said it--'why fly in to a camp and be hooked to a phone.'
