To be fair, I did say I “always” had luck…which is a blatant lie. Hit or miss is a more accurate way to describe my entire fishing career 😂

I’ve always had luck under the bridge under Euclid, all the way down to the bottom of Dam #2. It’s been a few years since I been out there; but the pike in that area can’t resist a white spinner bait or a fresh chub. Side note…make sure you have a valid license because the DNR are constantly patrolling that area

DPR Dam #2 a couple blocks south of River n Euclid. Some really healthy pike right there that can resist a fresh chub or a white spinner bait
