relax - somebody was going to ask - you new here?

 

[Fishmission]

Should be easy to put you on some Pike. You may have to travel a few miles to do it. The walleye can be just a tad more tricky.
do you have a boat or bank fishing?

 

[HolePuncher]

Good number of good size and numbers for pike at Nelson lake south of Minot.

With all the "Richards" here, can't say I'm surprised. '

 

[LBrandt]

If a guys real name was Dick would you call him Richard. Just a point to ponder.

Will have a boat. My son fishes there, I just didn't want to look silly

Oh, yeah. Looking silly is not well tolerated on this site.:::

Best lures for pike? Size?

 

[Fly Carpin]

Late July I like offshore humps that top out at 6-10 feet, preferably with good weed growth on top. Fish the top early and late, and off the edges midday. Are you looking for numbers or size? Anything bright and flashy will catch small to medium pike if they're there. Spoons, spinnerbaits, lipless cranks, big swimbaits, etc. I throw 10-14 inch flies for the big gals.
