I finally got out and did a little pickerel fishing this past weekend at Daingerfield State Park. Baitfish pattern flies and gold jerkbaits fished around the lily pads were the ticket. I did a full write-up you can read here. I also put together a little video that I took. Nothing special, I just explain some of what I'm doing and why. ![[Linked Image]](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Tawk4Cd1cqM/Wkp1MQnwlII/AAAAAAAAAVU/Fiqe6FRGXXopjRFFgIoVjxjAJlZgqViYQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG-0125.JPG)

Nice job! Been to Dangerfield many times. Like that it seems to sit low with little wind to bother you. You can see the pine trees swaying a little but the lake is calm. This time of year the colors are nice there.
I have an imitation perch dive bait that has many a pickerel teeth marks on it. Biggest was on a Ribbet Frog, in the lily pads.
again good job.
May the Good Lord bless you with a bend in your rod.

I used to catch them regularly when I was a teen growing up in Tatum.
We lived a mile from the Sabine River and they were plentiful in the backwaters off of it.

This looks like a cool trip. I'd like to try it sometime myself.

Pike of this size class is perfect eating -- they haven't developed their lateral bones yet, no need to cut anything. Very white sweet meat.
