Pike Fest 2020
« on: Mar 01, 2020, 07:15 PM »
was blessed with an opportunity to join the indian hill crew for pike fest 2020. it was a fantastic week filled of fun, laughter, comradery, and a little over 250 pike. it was a pleasure meeting and fishing with everyone and meeting some of the ice shanty crew of years past (porter, flaggs, frozen shiner, capedeer/fish, and powow). sorry if I'm missing some usernames. it was a truly special event I'm glad to of been able to be a part of. ended up catching my biggest pike yet of 38.5in as well. here are a bunch of photos of the trip. thank you mike for the experience of a lifetime and giving me the chance to meet this group of amazing individuals. I honestly dont think any tilt besides an indian hill could take the abuse that we put ours through this week.  :tipup:

I am still trying to wrap my head around the idea of 14 guys (if the photo is any indication) catching 250 pike in a week - - much less a single guy catching 57 in that period of time. :o

Absolutely phenomenal!

These guys fish as hard as anyone, and Colby goes 24 hrs a day knowing him. So heres the simple math colby was up north for 6 days. With 15 traps allowed thats equates to 2100+hrs of soak time. 57 pike means 1 fish every 38 hrs of soak time on average over a 6 day period. Simply some of the beat pike fishing anywhere.

Congratulations to all on a great week.

Flags up!

Last year we went up and fished 11 trap between me and a buddy.  6.5 hours later we had our first break from non stop flags.  Find the right spot and the pike fishing on champlain is non stop.

I am not a huge Pike fisherman but this is appealing.
