Catch of the day [Fishing]

I'm still working out how to fish the moat. It is fairly shallow ith a lot of weed. A Mepps seems to swim at about the right depth not to keep collecting weed, but A Mepps is a small lure, so it is attracting small fish, I need to find a big lure that works well given the parameters I have to work with….

I use these worms in heavy weeds. The ones that have the hook guards. They can be finicky, but you can fish them slow and pull them through most vegetation. I do recommend a swivel when you fish it as it spins when reeling through open water.

@Giles , I believe I mentioned this, at some point. This is the pike lure I've always had good success with…..
There is a wide variety of colors and sizes. They make weedless versions, as well. Here's the site….. https://dardevle.com/

Well done bud. Do you use wire leaders?

Nice fish and great lure choices. That first one is a scatter bait I believe. Made to move erratically during retrieve so to the large bowl shaped tongue and the second has that indentation and small bill. Streamlined through the water and leaves a trail of bubbles behind. Are either bait suspending? Often times with northern they hit on the stop/go speed change retrieve.

They are both floaters. The first one makes a load of commotion on the surface and does a fast zigzag on the retrieve, on the pause, it hangs vertically. The second one swims with a tight rolling motion at a depth of about 6-9", on the retrieve, and bubbles up on the pause.
I should say the second one swam, as I left it in a bush on the far bank.
