we run tip ups for the snappy gator up here, the ole water woof, right rooster? ole jack, fresh water baracuda. Pike!!
you tighten up the slack on a 20lb pike & you don't have to wonder if he's still on there!!
F'NA! Some of the most fun you'll ever have fishing is when you get multiple flags when the big pike are up in the flats getting fat and sassy before they head up river to spawn after ice out. You can't keep any between 30" and 40" and only one over 40" per day so its fight 'em, get 'em up above the ice, measure 'em, take a picture and back down the hole most of the time. It is a real blast especially with a group of people which means one or more of your tip ups need to be set up quite aways from where everyone is gathered for the social hours. Its always fun to heckle your buddies when they are running to a far out flag after they have consumed a 15 pack or so.
RUN! YOU FAT SOB! RUN!!!
