This site has many serious pike fisherman and I think it would be helpful if we started a thread dedicated to catch data. I have learned a lot about pike fishing on ice shanty, and I am making this thread for pike fisherman to share information with everyone. If you fish for pike and want to participate in this thread please copy and paste this form and fill out any information you can. If you think I should add anything please let me know, and feel free to add photos to your reports. Fill out a separate form for each pike caught.
