Went to Box Butte on Saturday. Lots of ice, but we didn't land any fish. We were using minnows and some small dead perch and bluegill on quick strike rigs under tip-ups. It was my first time fishing this way. Must have been doing something wrong. From what I've heard in the past, the pike at Box Butte are supposed to keep a person's tip-ups pretty busy. Any suggestions?? Think I might have hooked a northern on my jigging rod -- had a minnow on a glow jig. Line took off and snapped before I could realize what was going on.
