 When fishing Walleye here with bait it’s a good idea to wait a couple of seconds after the initial bite so as to let the fish get the bait in it’s mouth. I know this as I have fished here many times before but sometimes it’s hard to settle down. Once I came back to my senses I was in to my first fish of the day, a big fat Pike that was peeling line off my reel. I don’t think he liked my size 1 hook in his yap per.  The pike here are usually medium size on average but I do not specifically target them I’m here for the Walleye. About 10 minutes after the first fish it’s nibble, nibble and I’m in to my first Walleye of the 2006 season.
