Have at it ! Mitch P Champion 37" pike ! He took home the grand champ swag of growler, Mug, HOOKER swag, and the Vanford 500 reel. Put that on a TICKLESTICK !
We raffled off 2nd and 3rd. Bald Pelican took 2nd and went home with some nice HOOKER swag, and Shimano Sahara reel
Keywest Glenn took 3rd and went home with some nice HOOKER swag, and lures from Shimano.
I think we'll agree this was by far THE best weather day for any PIKETOBERFEST !
I'm sure pictures will surface today on this dreary day, so have at it.
I tallied up the $$ Keywest Glenn gave extra $$ and Kapt didn't want any $$ SO I am putting $60.00 towards my 2024 CLOSER TO FREE RIDE next September 7th , 2024..
Thank you ALL who fish , have fun, and continue to make this a sucessfull event !
SIDENOTE I hope nobody gave their contact info to that lady "Lilly" working the crowd. Her story was pretty sad, BUT a train wreck !
Thanks to Paul and Mitch for organizing another fun event. Congrats to Mitch for catching a quality winning fish on a tough day. River Roamer and I fished hard but never saw a pike. Boat traffic became crazy! The after party was fun and included some interesting sights at the ramp which was very busy due to the warm weather. Actually, I won the raffle for 2nd place prizes so thanks to Thomas Hooker (and Kapt) and Shimano (and Blaine) for arranging donation of Thomas Hooker beer and glasses and a very nice Shimano Sahara reel respectively. That reel will be used for Lake Champlain SMB. Next year everyone needs to recruit one or two new people to fish and grow the event. Cheers, BaldPelican

Sorry, John. I really need to mark things off on my score card. I even asked a couple of others for my CRS (Can't remember sh!T )
" That reel will be used for Lake Champlain SMB. " Pictures or it didn't happen
What do we need to do to catch more pike? Joe J has pointed out September, but that is a really busy month for me.
