Fisherpete Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamS Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherpete Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share 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.....

AKRISONER Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Pete, The pictures are even better on a big screen! Your phone didnt do these gators justice.

Nipfisher Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
