Fisherpete Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 I have a new addiction... catching pike thru the ice! My first time out and I land my biggest pike from southern Ontario @ 37"! My buddy Scott landed a 37" as well... Andrew got a 33" as his biggest of the day. Smallest fish of the bunch was still 29"! I'll keep this report short and sweet, enjoy the pics
AdamS Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Nice fish Pete! I always wanted to catch a pike through the ice...Looks like I'm gonna have to make a trip up your way.
Fisherpete Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks Adam, they were my first pike thru the ice as well... I've had a few big ones on while perch fishing in Cooks Bay but you can guess how that turned out... zzzzzzPING! I had always pictured using tip-ups to be boring... I was wrong! It's great fun watching the flags pop and then battling these brutes by hand. Pete
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 It's even better jigging them up using airplane jigs or giant Lindy darters. Watching them come in on the flasher is awesome!!!
Burtess Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Great pics!! Pike through the ice are just so awesome..... they can be such beasts and really make fantastic picture material! I hope to get some up on Nipissing next week when I go. Going to find some 5-6 foot shallow water near an island and set down a big mackerel..... Burt
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 I'm heading out to my local pike spot on Sunday & hopefully stick a few of these.
davey buoy Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Nice fish guys,would love to get a couple like that through the ice as well.Yours aren't bad either Dave .
xxgoaler Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 It's a Gator parade, well done , nice pics
Pikeslayer Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 I think we're overdue for another date Pete ?
NAW Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 I don't get envious all that often. I am right now though!!!
Fisherpete Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Posted January 8, 2015 Wow, I think I need a trip up to the NWT! (And an auger extension)
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Wow, I think I need a trip up to the NWT! (And an auger extension) Or two!!!
sleepjigging Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 I think I need to upgrade my 6" auger to 10". Well done gentlemen.
manitoubass2 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 wicked nice gators! I prefer to jig em up though. One thing is for certain they show up like a missile on the graph!!!
Steve Piggott Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Nice fish Pete, for your first time at it.
Joeytier Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Pike are definitely most fun in the winter, and tastiest too! Nice job
Gnote Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Beautiful fish! Im itching to get a few myself.
Acountdeleted Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Geez. Way to go Pete and Co. Those are some massive gators. I can only imagine the fight they must have put up.
AKRISONER Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Pete, The pictures are even better on a big screen! Your phone didnt do these gators justice. I am heading up to Pointe Au Baril tomorrow to try chase some as well. Weve got the sardines just as you suggested!
Gregoire Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Seems like a good way to kill time until June.
Nipfisher Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 I used to get a few big ones every year out of Lake Nipissing through the ice. Lots of 30-35" over the years. Then back to back years we landed 43" beauties.
fishnsled Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Not sure how I missed this but awesome report!! Some really nice gators there!!
