Hi All,
I'm new to this site. Was over on IDO but there's so little activity on the Rainy Forum that I started looking elsewhere.
Wondering what everyone does for trophy pike in mid to late September and what is the biggest pike you or one of your friends has landed there. Is a 50" pike something that you have heard of actually happening or is that beyond what this lake produces? I seem to find plenty of photos with 42-47" pike but nothing bigger to my knowledge. The owner at Northernaire Houseboats told me he has landed a 50" pike but it sounded like that was several years ago.
Does anyone try contour trolling with big baits? I have generally just stuck to cabbage beds but need to have a backup plan in case the big girls aren't in the bays yet. We haven't found anything bigger than 42" and I want to hit something bigger if possible.
Thanks for any advice or fish stories you can provide!
