I had a toothy critter break me off cleanly on a wacky rigged senko as well as a fluke. Slow finesse is carrying the day. Normally I’m able to sense the bite and hook set quickly but these two fish clobbered my baits this evening.

Slow retrieve. Patient hook sets. Aggressive hook sets will pull the bait out and put fish off generally. Northern Pike are coming in at 24"-29" range. Bass haven't left the nests and aren't feeding quite yet.

Bass swimming by today but they weren’t interested. Northern Pike bite was hot from 8:30-9 with 4 in the net and two snapped lines. Smallest 19”. Largest 31” (6lbs).

Water is warming. I landed 2 northern pike. No other strikes (19" and 30"). Bass are beginning to cruise solo as water warms up quickly. These may be females off the nest. The bass are hugging the reeds where many small bluegill and carp minnows are harboring. algae is blooming and beginning to surface in very small pockets. I'll begin targeting bass very early mornings beginning 5/27 and I'll have an update then.

When I grew up fishing the Adirondacks, the onset of the fall bite could be measured by the effectiveness of inline spinners and spoons. It May be similar here. 59 degree air temp with lingering clouds from the previous night’s rain produced a breezy morning. As I write this, more rain is falling. I was very excited to get this nice, healthy bass.

Water has cooled down and slowed the algae as benefitted by recent rainfall. The reeds are well flooded. But the fish are well fed by nature. Plastics are hardly cutting it here. I did manage 1 northern pike while targeting bass. And the sunset was beautiful.

Northern pike are getting finicky. The Zoom Fluke still rules the day with another 26” fish at dusk last night. Bass aren’t touching the Zoom Fluke so next week, I will commit to a change in tactics even if. That means 0 fish. It’s time to target Bass. The challenge there will be that nature is providing plenty of feed.
