I've had days where my partner and I got 8 to 10 pike in the boat in 3 hours or so, not bad for middle of winter. Basically as long as its not blowing hard or so cold that the guides freeze up, It can be great Pike fishing. I know how and where to catch them and I only use lures, no dead bait here.
If anyone with a suitable boat would like to fish Hayden lake in Idaho with me, I get them there every year from late Dec. till spring. most of the pike in Hayden run from 4 lb. to about 12 lbs max so no monsters just fun fishing. If there is any pike left in the P.O. River I have a spot i used to fish there as well that was good. There used to be MONSTERS here but not sure there is anything but hammer handles anymore. I know the fish in CDA would bite as well, but I don't know that lake very well yet. I do know what structure to look for to find them though.
They load up in schools in the winter and are really easier to find if you know what to look for. So since my boat is still dead If anyone with a boat and maybe a heater
wants to team up, PM me.Mark this means you
The good news is i got $1000 for X-mas to hopefully get my boat running again.
