Taking my dad fishing for the first time in over 20 years and I really want to see him hook into a pike or two any tried and true lures or rigs. Fishing Blanche lake for two weeks.

Pike usually aren't too picky and tend to go for an easy meal. You may want to try a sucker chub under a float.

Can't go wrong with spoons either. If you can, take him over to Phelps Mill and drift a float and sucker, you'll get your pike in no time, I'd fish the flowing water on the side of the building in that slower water. Best of Luck to you and your dad, hopefully he gets the "fishing bug" again.

Could someone tell me where phelps mill is?

Never been there but it's south west of Ottertail I believe. Check out a map or mapquest.com is a great site.

Follow CR #1 west of Ottertail for about 3 miles, and then turn north on CR #45. You will run right into Phelps Mill about 2-3 miles up #45.

I've caught a lot of pike over the past few years on spinnerbaits...cast or troll them along the weedline, or even just into (and through) the tops of the weeds on large, weedy flats. Depending on the lake, you can pick up some bass this way, too.

yellow bucktail jigs and sucker minnows, sometimes a stinger is a good idea.

Over the years I have caught a number of large pike speed trolling a mepps bucktail spinners. Let out plenty of line and stick to the outside weedline. Firetiger has been a favorite of mine. Like H20 posted ... you can't go wrong with a daredevil spoon either. Good luck and good fishin'.

Spoons = Gators all day long. Trolling or casting they have worked well for me.
