Go to "Northern Pike" under the Ice Fishing Tips on this forum. A wealth of information.

Good Luck.

Pachaug, Mansfield, Quaddick, and the CT river coves are all good spots. Try big golden shiners and step on the before you throw them down the hole. Try 4-12' of water and put the bait near the bottom. Use wire leaders or at least 50 lb floro

I know some guys that catch pike out of quaddick every year, im pretty sure they fish not too far from the state beach
