Day 3 of 6
Thursday, July 08, 2021 Woke up to bright blue skies and had a feeling it was going to be a scorcher, it was. Our day was spent dissecting Good Lake and trying to find the giants that roam throughout. I'm still amazed at how many 2-4lb pike we caught suspended over the deepest areas of the lake while trolling for the big one. Never found the big pike, but I got to see numerous 20+ inch largies and smallies while paddling the shoreline. It was a tough bite to say the least though my tan went from a level 5 to a level 10 in one day. We wrapped up the day with a tasty 26" pike for dinner along with some hot sauce and mashed potatoes.
