Cedar Lake

[Grayfish]

Years ago caught some nice pike there. Will be up there next thursday a day before some friends who call themselves the pikers meet for a Saturday derby on Champlain. I thought I would give it a try on my own before we meet up. Is access by boat launch available? Any reports on the fishing there?

I am originally fro Vt.[ Peacham area ] but now  live in Maine.

Any input appreciated. Where to buy bait in that area. I am aware of new laws...

Fish your tip ups RIGHT BELOW THE ICE, the lake is real shallow and its easy for your minnow to swim into weed. Use a trace if you can because of the Pike.... You should do well there are some nice Largemouth bass in there up to 6 pounds if your lucky!!

How many Pikers are there? I was at the ground round the otherday and there were a bunch of ya. I was in the bar area. I could over hear a few og ya all talking (not like its loud in there). jackets look pretty cool. What does it take to be a piker.... You all were talking and my wife keep on thinking you were all saying BIKERS. Come on I think it was -10 out that night. Why would they ride  bikes I asked. There was one guy working on a cuple of woman for ice bunnies. Way to go.......jim s

Jim, we are a group that calls ourselves The Pikers. This was our 34th annual trip to the Burlington area. We are mostly from the center of Massachusetts, but have a few members from VT, ME, and NH. Each year we go to your area for the pike and to let our hair down. The gang's donations feeds them on the ice (egg and bacon sandwiches, steaks, porchettas, BBQ drumsticks, soups, and more), pays for their bait, and gets them a new t-shirt. Introduce yourself next year as we like to go to the Ground Round, we stay at the Ho Hum. After 5 consecutive years you are eligible for a Pikers Jacket, if you catch a pike outside the USA we stitch "International" on the jacket. Nobody does a trip like this better than we do! Lee
