Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Sue and I took the day off from Muskies and chased pike and crappies for dinner. It was a beautiful evening, and the crappies and pike were very willing. We found the pike in heavy cover, and took them on 1/4 ounce weighted worm hooks and plastic worms skipping them across the stuff until BOOM, a pike smacked the lure right through the pads. We hit moonrise perfectly, and the pike responded well. The lake also has muskies, not alot, but quality, in the same areas on the same pattern, so....Crappies were plentiful in 9', we caught over 50 and kept 20 on Cubbies and a bobber. Dinner was GREAT!!!!!

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | We hit the same lake tonight fishing Muskies and Bass, and crappies at dusk. I got a nice bass, as did Sue, and LOST the only muskie we saw, a mid-40's range fish that smoked a Violent Strike spinnerbait. Hooks were like a hypo, and I had a great angle for the hookset, but she came unpinned anyway. Crappies fillets and bluegill fillets for dinner tonight, yummy. Sponger, PIKE ARE PEOPLE TOO responded with the following message: HOW can you even BEGIN to CONTEMPLATE eating such a gentle, intelligent, wonderous CREATURE? PIKE ARE PEOPLE TOO deplores any such barbaric act, and will supply no recipes. I sent them a copy of my new pike cleaning video. They tell me several of the members passed clean out when they viewed the tape. Those folks have a screw or two stripped, me thinks.
