RE: Grass Pickerel
Nice target species !

This is part of the whole adventure of fishing... I know Largemouth are fun to catch and such a great gamefish but I've caught probably tens of thousands in my lifetime. Now trying to catch lifer fish which I've never caught or seen yet has sparked my interest more....

Couple years ago I wanted to catch a Northern Longear sunfish, now designated it's own species and is referred to as Northern sunfish or Great Lakes sunfish. At first it was difficult to find a waterway which held them but once i did finally find the right waterway I caught about 50, and have since found plenty of waterways that hold them.

I have yet to catch Grass pickerel, I was fishing at the Pinery on the weekend and was using tiny crankbaits to try and target them but alas, caught 11 largemouth! But it was packed there being the long weekend, so all that canoe activity on the river probably had them all spooked. I think the best bet to catch Grass Pickerel though would be using a live minnow with light line and dropping it in to open pockets amongst the thick weeds.
