Just returned from another great trip to Great Slave Lake.
The weather was as advertised...no cold...managable winds. The fish cooperated as well. Me and my partner from MN connected on 56 pike over 41" for the week, with a 48" being the best for the boat.
The pattern for the week was weeds when the wind wasn't blowing, rock when it was. Grinders, Rad-dogs took the lions share of the fish in the weeds, were as Bulldawgs ate up fish on the rocks and in the channel at night. And yes I said night. The late evening fishing into night consisted of trolling Bulldawgs on short lines in the river channel. The king of the night blind does well up there after dark. In fact with the full moon week, there were times when the bite wouldn't end until 11:30pm. One night Steve and his partner Rob Kolar finally decided enough was enough and came in at that time. I'm not sure how many trophys Steve's boat came in with for the week, but 45 over 41"s seems about right. The daily big fish pool was won with fish of 48", 47", 47", 46.5", 44", 46.5", 44".
Book your trip for next year! There's alot more big pike to be caught at Taltson Bay Big Pike Lodge! Contact me on our homepage http://taltsonbaypike.com/
