My experience with pickerel would indicate that on some days a bottle opener
would produce a strike, other days require dynamite. Most days a red/white
Dardevle (Daredevil) works pretty good.

I've been working on several cedar wood prototypes for a lure line
that I'm actually thinking of manufacturing. This morning, I decided
to test a few, different size and weights in two different lakes.

It would seem I've hit on a sure fire pickerel catching lure pattern -
caught a bunch of them all in the 18" to 24" range most of them pretty
hefty in terms of weight.

So this afternoon, I spent most of my time messing around with some
streamer patterns that I made up last winter but didn't get a chance
to use this summer.

Small mouth city. Big 'uns, little 'uns, inbetween 'uns.

I'll tell you what - ain't nothing like catching fish on your own rods
using your own lures.
