NO, it's not a muskie, but it's close...

Anybody with a boat want to hit the P.O. River for some Pike

Post by Fish-N-Fool » Mon Dec 26, 2011 10:11 pm

My fishing buddy took off for mexico and I never did get to go out Pike Fishing. My boat is still broke down so if anyone out there would like to go out on the river for some Pike fishing I will help pay for everything. I have all the equipment as well. I fish both with bait and lures and release almost every fish as with the tribe killing them off I don't like to keep any.
With my Bait rig I have not killed a fish yet, but if you want to keep a few to eat we can keep some in the 22" to 26" range as they are the best ones to eat.
So I'm free almost any day with a little warning and we can go catch a few fish.
Pike fishing can be very good this time of year, I did very well fishing it last year at this time. We would launch out of Oldtown and fish in Washington near the Idaho boarder. So all you need is a boat (one with a canopy would be nice but not required, some pedestal seats would be nice too, as I'm old or at least I feel old.) [flapper]
that can handle the river and a Wash. license. You can use my rods and tackle if you don't have the right stuff and I will teach you how to make and use the slip bobber rig, as well as fishing swimbaits to catch catch pike, so you can do it more on your own.
If you want to go out call me, any day that the weather is decent. (Not below 30deg. and not a lot of wind)
my # is 208-265-5157

Just an update for all you guys that think you can't catch pike this time of year. I was out with a buddy today in his boat and we got 4 nice ones in the boat and had about another 10 or so bites we missed. We fished both dead bait under a slip bobber and swim baits. The biggest fish was about 9 pounds and the smallest was about 5 so it was a good day.
Normally you get the most fish this time of year on the dead bait but today we got all the fish on swim baits. So if you want to give it a try sometime give me a call.
Here is the first fish we got.

I dropped my camera after we got this one and it screwed up the lens, so all the rest of the pictures came out looking like this. LOL This was the biggest fish of the day though, a beauty huh? :)

I did get my camera fixed after I got home lucky for me.
