Dsouth Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Ice-Fished Northern Pike fished Friday, Saturday + again yesterday but only till 2 in the afternoon do to the bad ice conditions. Friday I had a 3 Northern Pike day along with a nice 4lb class LM friend Chris also had a LM in the 3-4lb class + friend Joe took the skunk but was still happy because he jigged up 4 HOG Goldens along with 50 plus Crappies. My best NP tipped the scale at 18lbs10oz 2nd best was around 11lbs + the other 1 was around 9lbs. Saturday I fished alone from 4:30 am till dark 30 (5:15) only a 1 flag day but it was a BIGIN that went 19lbs6oz on the digital. Could have used my lucky camera man Joe with this fish but had to settle with a few so so tri-pod shots, beautiful FAT clean looking fish compared to the 18.10 that was a little beat-up from being caught before. Sunday friend Paul join me and it was slow with only 2 bites, 1 pickerel for Paul that took a 9 sucker + 1 nice 14lb10oz Northern for me. All my Pike came on 8-11 river dace placed close to the bottom on a weed-line thats very close to deeper water. Happy Holidays Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t beat 3†of solid black ice, my friend Paul took this cool shot with his cell phone. Got down to 2" and we called it a day Sunday afternoon. Air temp was 65.

FishDr Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Sweet! You're braver than I am - I won't go out on less than 4" of ice 'cause I'm chickenish. I'm hoping to get some northern action later on this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gradycodd Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Once you ice fish you question your sanity and it can be hard to be responsible sometimes, its just too fun. Nice gators Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
