just  a heads up man u may wanna not show so much background in your pictures I can tell exactly where you are fishing, and it's a decent spot!
do what you want but if u dont want 20 people beside you next weekend limit the landmarks!!!!!

congrats on the luck tho

[seoo]

I didnt think it was that obvious but ill edit them cant give away the hot spots

Great report SEOO!  Looks like a productive weekend, nice pics.  What were the splake and crappie biting on?

[lunkrhuntr]

it was a an okay day people just have to stop taking 10 pike off the ice everytime they go out i seen guys at that  spot on the weekend with a few pike at just about 12 t0 15 inches long it was  sad fishing seems to be excellent this year so far so hopefully some cold weather to harden up the bay  a little more good luck boys and be safe

seriously dude ... forget the background scratching ... this is not Fishhack.com .. we are all supposed to share ...

d-mo

I will share more info publicly on large water bodies like quinte and loughbrough once there is safe ice where there is room for lots of people to fish and not be cramped

Splake and crappie were caught on mud minnows and various jigs I would know its a splake because a decent size blob would circle my bait on the flasher about 5 times moving non stop then give it a little nibble you really gotta let them take it before you set the hook it seems the pike were checking out the lure for a sec then aggressively smashing my jig

Top lure of the year so far is the buckshot although I caught fish on several others too

I dont usually keep pike cant be bothered cleaning them I kept my 3 splake for the table ill keep a 4-6 pound pike out of deep water if i got someone that will clean it for me but i prefer my lakers, walleye and jumbo perch for dinner over anything else never eaten splake but I assume its like lake trout I will donate a decent pike to the less lucky fishermen i see on the ice

@Seoo.  Nice fish man.  If you can't be bother to clean pike, check out this video. 

.  Pike is great eating, and even better during hard water season IMO.  The method in the video is easy to master after a few fish.  I don't like to leave that much waste, so sometimes I boil the carcass after filleting, let it cool and pick the meat off the bones. I mix this with some rice crispies and spices and then a quick fry of fish cakes. The kids love them.
