It has become a dangerous an expensive compulsion. When the fishing is good I stay awake at night trying to remember exactly what we did right. When it is a fishless day, I stay awake all night wondering what we did wrong and what else we might have done to make the trip a success.
I'm studying sun and lunar charts. Damn near ready to consult an astrologist. My wife thinks I have lost my mind!
I can go to a trout lake and fill the boat, but I have lost all interest even in trophy lake trout. All I want to pursue is PIKE. Almost every night I'm on the web ordering pike lures, reading everything I can find relative to fishing for them or musky thinking that their behavior must be similar.
I plot against them like a battlefield general does, planning every little deatail of a trip. If I'm not fishing for them or reading about them I am checking my gear for the next trip. I think I truly must be out of my mind.
Surely everone who catches "Pike fever" isn't as radical as I am getting. For their sake I pray not. Tight lines
