Rollin to Yuba this weekend... Anyone have any tips for the Pike and/or Perch down there (other than wait until May, hahaha)? Cranks, Jigs, etc?
Never dropped the boat in there, so it should be interesting. Looks like I may need a slicker...
Thanks!
Here are some of the cranks that people claim work

Fish slow and fish shallow. Thats what I would do if I were going down this weekend. I'm waiting till May though. [
] A big sented plastic grub or a floating or suspending crankbait should work. Also dont overlook fat wide cranks that can be worked slow and move back and forth a lot.

I see you're in next months IN-FISHERMAN mag. Biggest Pike in the whole western region. Congratulations my boy. I think I know that fish!

Hey, I want to see the picture of WW's big pike[
]. Can you send me a PM with the link?
[signature]
Pez, it was all thanks to you! Cant wait to get back!!! You were right, it was the biggest in our region. Here are some pics.
It mentions me as Nor-tah in In-Fisherman.

Geez buddy I didnt know you were famous. Did you send those pics in for a contest?
What month will they be in.

The guide and the photographer had his head on right, but the angler demonstrated rare skill in subduing the monster fish. Again, I congratulate you for a job well done and a really big pike not to mention your presence in next months In-Fisherman magazine.
We'll go again soon. Steve

Haha, when I caught that female with Pez that day he told me about the program and how I would probably win. You can see one of the pics by going to
www.in-fisherman.com and clicking on master angler then sort by northern pike and region three. There are two other Utah dudes I know that turned in entries. Perchinski with a huge smallie and Tigru with a "brown trout". Cool contest.
