Don’t have a boat to get to the hole’s on the Grand River or want to change up the way you fish? Try fishing off a Bridge. One nice thing about Grand Rapids is that do allow you to fish off the Bridge’s. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!!! Your on one the Best River’s in this Nation for all Species. USE UM!! There their for you to wet a line and sit back and wait for your Rod to go Over the bridge. And I say that because if you don’t tie down your rod in a second your pole will be in the drink. I have seen allot of Poles go in the River!!! I have had Poles that have went into the River. So be carefull when you do it out. Because this TROPHY HUNTING WATERS!!!! Get your Bait out and HOLD ON SON!!!
What we have been doing is using Suckers. We have been using 3 oz weights. And then Snelling 2 #2/0 or even Small Hooks on. Using one back far enough so you can sew your bait on with your stinger.
They have been hitting light too. The tap tap isnt always your bait moving. Those tap tap can be that fish coming up and sucking it downand then Spitting it out because your ass was asleep on the bite and you have been sitting for 3 hours with not to many hits and then when the big one comes around to your Rod. Your Dumb ass was half asleep and you missed your chance for the night. I get guys coming in here all the time saying man I can”t catch a fish!!! And I ask um? Did you get any Bites. Ya I got Bites. Well how was your rigged and they Show many how they tie there hooks on and it looks like they just had some Little 3 year old tie there Rig up!!!
That’s a BIG part of it too. if your not rigged right. You are going to miss allot of Fish by pulling it right out of there mouth. Others I see that come into the store with have every dam swivel in there tackle box on there line with droppers and everything else. And then ask me the Dumb ASS Question why am I always getting tangled up? KISS BABY KISS!!!!! Remeber that old Phrase KISS KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!!! When your trying to tie a shit ton of stuff on your line that you don’t need on there. Something is going to happen. Now trust me I have used Rocks, Spark Plugs, Bolts, Metal Parts you name it I bit I’ve tryed it. When you don’t have the Right stuff you will use anything just to get your bait down. But if you want to do it another way. try using a NO ROLL RIVER SINKER, then a Bead!!! Why the Bead???? Because its going to protect your knot from that big ass weight coming down and smashing your knot up. Then Tie a Hook on. Not A swivel a HOOK!!! Less stuff down there to get tangled up on. Try it. Catfish don’t care that that weight is right there.
We have been using Suckers lately and Creek Chubs to get um to bite. We have been throwing gills with no luck but the SUCK SUCK is on FIRE!!!
Nothern Pike are on the FEED!!!
Posted by: | CommentsWith Summer at full swing. The Pike are on the Move. Fishing Drop offs, Weed Edges and the Mouths of Small Creeks are the Ticket!!!
Allot of people will float Suckers, Creek Chubs or Gills underneath Floats. Others Like Huge Boby baits or Spoons. Put every Pike fisherman has one thing in Common They will do what ever it takes to get that Fish on the Line.
