Title: Pike Techniques
Post by: BuckShotJon on Dec 06, 2001, 09:47 AM

I am in love I found this place!

Ok I usually fish pike under a tipup with golden shiners on a treble hook with weight above the hook 12 inches. I find the bottom and pull the line from the botton 12-24 inches.

Are there other techniques out there I may try?

Jon

There are tons of different techniques. I suggest you read up on some of the great articles at fish finder web site. Explore around the links and you will find more than enough info on pike fishing through the ice. I will have to get back to you on the exact names of some of the sites. Check in later. Good luck.

Article at fishontario.com, "Passive/aggressive winter pike" by GOrd Ellis.
articles at fishandgame.com, "Hard water hints,
Article at iceshanty, "Scientific set-line Pike" by JP Bushey,
article at (Sorry guys! not an ice team fan or member) iceteam.com, "Late Winter fo Monster Pike."  Also good article in Ice FIshing Guide 2001, "Jigging for Winter Pike" by Doug Stange of In- Fisherman. Since you fish lake Ontario I suggest reading "Icing Ontario's Big Northerns" in Ice Fishing magazine. In stores now. Article is by Bruce Ranta. Since there is no ice you have alot of time to read up on pike fishing through the ice.
