Ice fishing is the best around. The most important thing when you are tip upping for pike is that you dont set the hook to early. I have never had a pike spit the hook even after 3+ minutes of free lining. I would reccomend at least a 30 second count after you get to the tip up. Dont jerk hard automatically but instead, slowly pull the line up and wait until you feel pressure until you make the large hookset. remember not to horse the fish as he gets near the hole as this is an easy way to loose them
good luck
