lovetofish Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hey guys. Me and a buddy are taking the kids to Bellwood tomorrow to target some pike. Have never fished there in the winter. Any advice on where to start or a depth to look for? Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyman Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I found you didn't have to go far. I would stay in the 10 -20 ft range. Pike cruise at all depths. There are two bays you could try. One is straight across the other is to the right of the boat ramp. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 I have some friends who fish walleye there. Pretty far from the access point though. Don't know what the pike fishing is like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 agreed. I have heard nothing but success stories about Island Lake and pike. I don't think you will get big ones there but the numbers are apparently good. And for a kid...even a 20 inch pike is a huge fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRISONER Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 This was in 2016 (Wow i cannot believe it has been that long yeeeesh) but we caught if I remember, 4 this size on island lake that day. Theres a million snot rockets too, plus a pile of perch. Any time we dead sticked a minnow head on a small jig on bottom we would catch perch.

lovetofish Posted February 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Did get out for a few hours today. Marked some fish, no hook ups. Weren’t there for any prime time action. Got there at 10:30, left at 1:30. It was nice to get out and explore some new ice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cost me about $1500 on a trade-in value. When I wanted a new pickup, the sales guy said the only one they could find was TEAL. I said I did not care what colour it was. But when it was time for a new truck, it turned out that people DID care about colour. Oh well, live and learn...............🙄 Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Funny story about those pants, had an old roomate/tennant that left my place in a hurry and left a bunch of crap behind. My buddy wanted to go ice fishing and all of my gear was up north. I found those teal snowboard pants in the storage room. They were wayyyyy too big for me but I made them work for the day. I specifically remember my feet being so damn cold that day because I only had a crappy pair of Walmart bush boots that I borrowed from my other roomate lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
