Me and Walleyes don't get along, I have always struggled with catching them. I'm really planning on concentrating on Pike, if I'm up to it I may give them a try? Thanks for the tip!

Bart if you see tip up on delta more than likely they are walleye fishing everyone I talked to had flat heads on the tip ups looking for eyes or crappies we got a fat 29 incher and a small pickerel. My son lost something really big. Not positive how big but from the run it defiantly had size to it. We were using large pike shiners.

Fished Delta for the first time! 20"-24" of ice about 4" of snow on top, great conditions for the sled and wheelers. Not to bad by foot too. Managed a few Perch. I had one flag and caught my first Pike through the ice!(28-1/2") Had something on the jigging rod, probably pike, fought it for nearly 5 min. Had it to the hole three times, couldn't get a good look at it though the slush? Finally broke off at the hole... :'( Left early, forgot my sun screen! ;D Northern Pike checked off my bucket list!

Sun rise on Delta Lake.

it's all in the equipment he gets the best, I get what's left. One Time took him on the boat set him up on a good hole he caught fish one after anouther I never put a line in the water. One of my best trips ever and he was hooked for life after that.

Made the hour drive from marcellus. Fished from 7 am till 430pm. Around 930 am had 3 flags in a row go off. Managed 2 pickeral and a 11 1/2 inch perch. Buddy lost something huge at the hole twice shredded his line...toothy critters. Learned my lesson about drilling in someone's previous hole. Drilled and apparently hit someone s crap hole complete with toilet paper and crap flying asi drilled :sick: :sick:

Hahahaha! I'm sorry, but sitting on my couch this is a good laugh. If it was me who found the hole full of sh*t, I would be laughing.
