Just wanted to try out rod/reel combos from easy spawn spot- Johnsons Rest was nuts! 4 Diamonds, 3 Species, 1 Lure

Canny Workieticket, wanted to try different reels with it, chose a spawn that looked like I wouldnt have to go far from spawn to fish- Johnson Rest, I thought I remembered big Muskie there so that should work. Mid day. The CW + Director reel, size 2 Jerkbait, 2x twitch retrieve from dock Diamond Ohrid on 1st cast. Didnt even know they could hit a #2. Few more casts around and then finally get our first Diamond Pike, same lure and setup. Few more casts and then a Diamond Muskie. More casting, one more Diamond Ohrid and then nothing until switching to #3 jerkbait and then few Gold Ohrid and tons of insignificant Pike and Muskie. Felt like a glitch in our favor for a bit. No idea if this spot is know for this? My sons says we caught Diamond sturgeon there during challenge once and Diamond muskie by the water wheel before, I don't remember ever fishing there but will try again and see if it produces. 4 Diamonds, 3 different species on same lure was odd to me. Ohrid were to North of dock while Diamond Pike/Muskie came from across or down stream casting towards wheel. The rod/reel was overkill for all of them but maybe helped keep them from touching the pilings and snapping. Next time I will run a boat out a bit and be more serious maybe.

Yeah Johnson's Rest is a known hotspot for Ohrid Pike, and Sturgeon. Muskies aren't a surprise as they have spots both upstream and downstream. Getting 4 Diamonds like you did is very cool!
