Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
Just spent the weekend at Hell Creek....wow what a trip. Pike everywhere...i caught 2 over 10 lbs..friends got a 15 and 12 pounder...and someone else caught a 24 lb monster while we were there....perch everywhere...caught my first walleye and jumbo perch as well. Pike at all depths. I will be honest...I had my best luck on deadbait....smelt and squawfish...although i did catch a 10.5 lb pike on a large live suckerfish. Sunday was below zero with a windchill of below -20f...stayed in the shack trying to survive it..it killed the bite....btw ice had to be over 10 or 11 inches by the time we left this morning. Hope this helps...you can get onto pike anywhere..we walked about a mile and a half...maybe farther. I highly recommend the trip for anyone contemplating it! Good luck
The 24lb'er was with my crew. It was my buddy Larry. You can watch it being iced here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSHY3QEEiTs&list=PLzwk4g8PMg9G5swKS42vlC4bga7RLaJ0e&index=1
Just got back from a 3 day trip there and had a blast. We stayed at fellmans in jordan and fished devils creek and hell creek. Long story short- I think PJB summed it up exactly! Already planning another trip for next year.MTA
Same here MTA..already booked the cabins for next year!
I'm not sure were that is but we were on the point at the main lake and I know with my binoculars I could see people fishing in every direction. Wish I were more help but that's what I know we had a little over 12 inches of good ice.
