Trollin' trollin' trollin'...

And I'm still not getting so much as a bite.
Maybe it's time to switch lures.
I'm thinking perhaps a nymph for this time of year, slowly pulled with a 5-wt. sinking line.
Nah, if you're going for pike, I'd suggest a slowly fished tailbait.

[ QUOTE=NWB;15741083]You're right. We haven't heard what sort of crankbait the OP is using.
No pike around here. For freshwater, we mostly have trout, steelhead (sea-going trout), bass, and perch.
I've heard that pike are loads of fun to catch.
I mostly fish for trout.
I prefer to slow-troll either a Roostertail or a Super-duper in my canoe.
FWIW, I still haven't hooked into an ancient alien yet. I think I need to try some different lures, or perhaps a wooly-bugger for those.
Aren't you guys below sea level? How does that work?![]()

You're thinking of the Dutch. They rig their lures on kites and the good fishing days are those with a nice brisk breeze.

Eh, what? No...
Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talkin' bout.![]()
You guys clearly don't know the OP very well.
At some point tomorrow, expect half a dozen individually quoted posts accompanied by suitably nonsensical ramblings.
I see it's no problem here at all.
