Burtess Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Usually I use Portuguese sardines for ice fishing pike but I found these today at Fortinos... about 10-12" long..... can't wait to try them out!!! Anybody ever use the larger mackerels? Burt Edited December 7, 2014 by Burtess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Years ago I read an article in a fishing magazine about the development of fish scents, as I recall it mentioned that research by Berkley indicated pike were partial to mackerel scent. http://www.in-fisherman.com/catfish/cut-mackerel-for-catfish/ http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~robmurray/pikebaitsa.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yes, just a couple of #4 or #6 trebles about 2-3" apart on 30lb SS braided wire. Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yes, just a couple of #4 or #6 trebles about 2-3" apart on 30lb SS braided wire. Burt Is that legal? Trebles count as three hooks when not attached to an artificial lure. I have heard of people attached some spinner blades to make it an artificial lure. I am not sure whether the MNR has an official position on that. I am assuming that you are in Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) This was changed quite a while back, a treble is considered 1 hook and you are allowed 4. Note that there is no longer a mention counting hook points or live bait. Burt Edited December 7, 2014 by Burtess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
