Croppie fishing was slow tonight, they didn't start biting until around 6:30, Lots of pike, 2 on the tip up within 20 min, one on Croppie jig, and 2 broke of with minnows and Jigs. My buddy says he seen a pike through the hole that was at least 3 ft. He wants to bring his spearing shanty over now. Once the pike moved on the bite started. All that was working was a small stinger in the back of the perch minnows. Caught 4 lost 4 at the hole. good luck all.
