    Nice job! Is that an LC Bevy Shad? No leader on those lures and still got those pike in

      Had a 3rd pike that got off before I could land it. For some reason the pike were active and I could only find tiny bass. Guess the bigger bass were deeper.

        Nice variety.

        What kind of fish is that in your first photo?

          Good question Mark. When I caught the tiny thing, I was thinking it was a very small and pale largemouth bass. Now that I'm looking at it, it could have been a smallmouth bass. I thought the fish was ambitious, trying to eat a lure that was half the size of it.

            I'm going with smallmouth here too, sometimes the small ones are very monotone

              I didn't even know RG had smallies. Cool to know

                If it's a smallmouth the mid (spiked) portion of the dorsal fin is missing. Either that or it's compressed so that it is not visible in the photo. That was the first thing I noticed that made identification difficult. The eye is red like many smallmouths but that pale color certainly belies the common smallmouth name of bronzeback.

                  Digging up this old post to note why I think Rocky Gorge is a worthwhile place to fish. Being able to catch multiple pike in one trip, along with bass, sunfish, and and perch is pretty cool in my book. I've also been skunked a huge number of times there in my life, but the good days make up for it.

                    Sad to say that my prime fishing years were in 2014-2016. Circumstances of life, weather, and COVID-19 have conspired against the number of kayak fishing trips I have been able to conduct since. Sadly, fishing is usually not in a kayak and often in a small pond, lake, or river close to home.

                    I too am looking forward to having fishing access to the WSSC reservoirs.
