And no snow on the ground here....in Minnesota! Normally we'd be buried!  :o

I keep in touch with a couple uncles in the Bemidji area. They still don't even have that much ice up there, 12-15" on most lakes. That is nothing for January.

Chicago has the largest Polish population outside Poland. Our pike prefer Kielbasa.

Never tried it yet but if I do fish for pike I am going to try hot dogs. northern pike suckers are now over $8 a dozen.

In CT they get a couple bucks each for suckers or big shiners. :-\  Glad I'll be armed with hot dogs if I go. ;D

At least $8.50 a dozen and you are lucky if they give you 13. And by the time you get home one or two are already dead.

Hot doggin' it is pretty popular way for catfishin'. I think the bigger the fish, the less picky about anything they eat. Who hasn't seen vids of big pike gulp down baby ducks?

I confess... I did steal your pic. Simply too lazy to find or take my own. You have my apologies zcm_82  :whistle:
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

Let me throw this out there ..Pork vs Beef vs Chicken ...lets discuss

I only eat the beef ones so that's all we buy but they are pricier then the generic ones with chicken lips and various pig parts in them.

I am thinking the deer sticks I have made, nice tough outside coating to hold it on the hook better.

Hmmm...maybe I should start making little fish shaped hot dogs, (bun optional) and name them Northern Bites.... probably make a fortune! 🐟   :woot:

So I have never tried using a hot dog before. until last weekend after reading the post. So I took a pack of bar s with me. To my surprise I got a flag and got a pike bout 4 lbs. was in the water bout 20 minutes. I was surprised to say the least. Went to get another dog and my oldest son had eaten them! I will definitely try them bar s Dogs again

What ever brand is your favorite so if the fish don't eat them you can.
