Spent the morning at Lincoln beach by the warm springs yesterday looking for pike. We threw swimbaits, spinners, bait under a bobber, and Rapalas but couldn’t make anything happen. We saw one carp roll in front of us but didn’t see another sign of a fish anywhere.
Pulling jigs for eyes is what I use mostly there, [color=#333333][size=small][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I had some custom jig bodies colored by TD that I have found to be the best colors for eyes, [/font][/size][/color] I moved out to the basin so I don’t get to fish it much anymore, right now is time for big female eyes,
cranks, swim baits and rattle traps work, most of the northerns I have heard of being caught is around the harbor, but thats where most people fish, I know there are some at the island. some have been caught cat fishing,
This time of year I think they are spawning, I do know they are all around around from the boat ramp down past the orchards, most I know of are caught fishing for other stuff, mine have been caught when fishing for eyes, I havent targeted them but had my line cut a few times by them and a few in the boat,
when the water temp get up above 50 -55 more will show up around the springs, might try around the inlets hobble creek I know has them,
