SABBATUS IS MY CHOICE :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:

I went down to the sporting goods store and got a new rod and reel for my wife.....pretty good trade, don't ya think?

Ketchup and grease instead of catch and release

It's impossible to make a date everyone can go, but it's nice to get as many as possible. :)

True! I can go anytime as long as it's planned ahead of time so I can request the day off. And have a babysitter.

hard to argue with great pond or long pond if you wanna go for size. is this a march trip?

howdy ryan. i think the past couple years it's been in february. and ya i gotta say after readin through some of them post about sabbatus again, i can't help but wonder if the pike are startin to get stunted. fishin might be slower on long or great, but it's worth it when you day dream of icing a pike 20 pounds or better. so i guess it depends on what ya want.

depends on the size. the small ones are pretty fiesty. i've hooked into some big ones that felt like 350 small block.

yah it comes down to quantity (sabbatus) or quality. if you fish great or long in late february with a bunch of people, id almost guarentee you ice fish over 15lbs, but you wont get the same amount of action/flags.

we fished Great this past weekend, only put out 9 traps for 4hrs and iced two pike over 10lbs.

the big ones make suns thatll scare you. 50yrds in a few seconds, easy. and they tend to freak out when they see the hole. similar to landlocks, but with more raw power. and theyre not easy to get out of the hole.
