Young Logan again trying for a pike on upper fuzzy. Forgot the pack of sardines so out came the whip and found a couple of worms under some old stumps to catch a small roach for bait. No roach but he had a small perch which he put on his 3/0 circle hook and cast it out for a pike in the margins. An hour later the float was bobbing around and off it sailed slowly. Thinking it was a jack pike he had a surprise when a nice perch surfaced, beating his pb again. He also had a few more perch all on the same small perch bait.

Young 7 year old Logan showing us up on how to pike fish with lures. After asking 99 times if he could try casting a lure as the float fished dead baits wasn't producing this afternoon we finally gave in. He tried a couple of small 3 to 4 inch lures with no success he tried a 6 inch savage gear V2 paddle body to a weighted 6/0 weedless hook pattern. A few cast later and slowing him down on the retrieve his rod bent around and a good sized pike was on. 10 minutes later and a few good runs later he finally got it into the net. He couldn't believe his eyes it was huge he said. One very happy boy with a pb pike of 17lb 5oz.
He then cast again 5 minutes later and landed a Jack pike too.
