Pike on Ice

[saxmatt]

I've been ice fishing for pike up in CT the last few days and the action has been good. I caught about 20 fish in the including the fattest pike I've ever seen. It was only 35" long and weighed almost 16 pounds. I also had a lean 36" fish and some other low 30s. My buddies did well too landing a couple healthy mid 30" fish. We caught them all on dead smelt, goldens, fallfish and peanut bunker in 2-7' of water.

Great photos ! Ever think of going back there in the summer with some spinner baits ?

[saxmatt]

I might do a few trips there in the summer but I probably wouldn't be using spinnerbaits.
