Home Forums Fishing Freshwater pike ice fishing

We target them in early Spring up here. A few of them reach 20 pounds or better. Biggest one in this picture is around ten.



Fish from ten to a hundred feet of water, occasionally deeper. Bright spoons worked two to three feet off sand or gravel bottoms, and plastic jigs fished just inches from the bottom do the trick quite nicely.






They are a delicious eating fish, but do not keep well unless frozen, totally immersed in water, and ice cream buckets work good for that.
