jpike, Why don't you take some time and surf around the site a bit. You have a grand total of 1 post. A lot of guys aren't going to give up any information to someone who hasn't given anything themself. Fishing is a lot of work and time on the water. The more put into it, the more you get back. Well, I think most of the guys on this site feel the same way. I don't want to put you off from this site, I want to do the opposite, turn you on. Get some quality posts under your belt and see what happens.Mike
JPIKE ! What part of the state are you in and how far are you willing to travel? I know a few places but like all of them your going to have to look hard for BIG PIKE in numbers and thats not easy in any part of the state. Unlike Canada > we can access almost any waterway with ease and traffic tends to get high as word gets out in this state.
Come now, just because the guy only has one post doesn't mean we shouldn't help him out. That is exactly what this site is for!Shawnee has some big ones and so does kinzua. Actually all of the lakes have some big ones. You just have to put the time in. The bigger the bait the bigger the pike. But I agree with baotnik13 . The big Pike are out there but they are few. i started to drop my line only about 3 - 5 feet below the ice. I am catching more but no big ones yet. Good luck
Pike really relate to the weed edges. I like how you tips in 12' and brought the bait up 3', that is good stategy IMO. You should look for long points and run a line up into shallower water as a search until you can pinpoint locations. Don't be afraid to move!Mike
Thanks for the info. Are you 3-5 feet in deep water or towards the shore? Last year at high point we were in about 12ft of water and pulled the shiners about 3 ft off the bottom and had tip ups left and right. Caught a bunch of pike that day. It was late Feb if that makes a difference too. Thanks again _jpike
Does anyone know where to catch big pike? Have ice fished High Point and caught 29 incher. Get any bigger there or anywhere else?
