Sorry to hear the fishing was blank, Tom. Get on over here. I'll put you
onto some pike & smallmouth, in a river that's as dependable as a vending
machine.

I've never caught a pike. Caught lots of smallies, though. Great fighting
fish.

When you get a pike in, or alongside the boat, it gives you this look which
says "Go ahead. Make my day. Try and get the hook out." They eat baby ducks
sometimes.

I love smallmouth fishing, almost as much as spotted bass.

I find that whatever lure is supposed to be all wrong for smallmouth, it's
the one to use. Last fall, in the St. Lawrence, I was about to give up
completely after 3 hours of trying everything in the tackle box, and getting
nothing. Then, just for the hell of it, I tied on an enormous Rapala, about
8 inches long, the kind I use to troll for walleye. Got 4 bass in a row, and
BIG boys, too.
