On The Water: Fishing New England TV Show Ice Fishing for Pike

[tinboat]

I caught the last 15 minutes of the show today, it was about ice fishing for pike in New England. I didn't catch the beginning of the show, so I don't know if they gave any hints about the locations that were fished. The part I saw was fun, saw some really nice fish landed. Had to laugh like heck when a guy caught his first pike, and tried to get the hook out of the fish's mouth using his fingers ------ of course the fish bit down!!!! Still making me laugh about it now....All he could do was wait for some help. Show is supposed to air again today (can I say that about cable??) on FLN at 12:30pm. I won't see it, will be watching my son out on the ice......at a local hockey rink.  GO HAWKS!!

I saw it both last sunday and this morning.  The first 15 minutes was about fishing for broodstock salmon on the stockbridge bowl in stockbridge.  The pike fishing was the hussatonic(sp) river it was on a little pond off the river.  i couldnt believe the idiot sticking his finger in the pikes mouth then he made the weirdest noise when he said ouch.  There were definately some nice pike that were caught on the show.  i told my buddy about it last weekend and i said that we were going to fish it this winter.

I saw the show last weekend too and it looks like the place is pretty popular, there were a lot of people out there.

was JAY BAVER hosting it by any chance?  that guy is a putz......(a lucky putz)

[the wizzard]

yeah, I saw the same show last year on cable.I do believe it is a repeat.
the place they were fishing is no secret anymore,the imfamous"woods pond".
that place will look like swiss cheese this year at first ice.

dont eat anything out fo there, entire housotonic is loaded with PCBs, saw a few russian guys walk off the ice their last year with a bucket of perch and im still feeling sorry for them and what their inerds are gonna be lookin like also, this proly wont do any good, but id prefer to keep this place as quiet as possible, if you guys know what i mean...

[moosehunter]

that guy sticking him fingers in the fishes mouth is a friend of mine and has won state pins and is probally one of the most dedicated and better fisherman there is.

That place sucks for pike    man I've seen those people keeping fish last year too.  I told them about the PCBs and that they were keeping illegal fish and called the EPO's on them.  If you see stuff like that up there remember to report them!

[ice rambler]

they are probably use to that and worse.

why did he stick his fingers in a pike's mouth, has he ever done that to a bluefish?

I shot an episode with them last winter on Carmi in VT. We did pike and then walleye after dark... We had a decent night, it was odd with a full moon and clear ice we were catching pike well into the night. I had never seen that before Jay and the camera man got there late and missed the 2 biggest walleye we had

Bluefin... You mean this putz?

[billditrite]

i saw that episode Blaine...it caught me by surprise when i saw you    great pike !

[Blaine]

Thanks man  We couldn't have asked for better weather that night... We just did another one last month, this time stripers on big baits. They got some great shots of 20-30 pound stripers blasting our baits on top

You better find a new secret spot that place gets pounded every year and since it was on TV it's gotten even worse.
