hi, our local lake has nice pike in it and now it is full of little perch and crappies....the fish and game put about 2000000 gizzard shad in as well. what has happened is the pike are full and all winter i did not catch a single one, where last two years i have managed approxamatly 130 between my partner and myself. so, its about ice out time here and we have done well in the past shore fishing a slip bobber with smelt under it, however im pretty sure that they might not be interested this spring. anyone have thoughts as to how to beat the full pike blues ? thanks for your thoughts.
