CG_Fishes Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Put some red feathers on the belly today, maybe that will get them to hook up more, who knows. Looks cool though and it's worth a shot Bass24hr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG_Fishes Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Went out looking for another pike today, found a frozen river instead. At least I got to see how the feathers look in the water, pretty sweet if you ask me. I cannot express how excited I am for warmer weather, hopefully soon... 20210125_144002.mp4 Jim137a and willlliw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willlliw Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I still have one musky spot that hasn't frozen over but with it finally being cold i guess i should get out there before too long. CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take advantage of open water! Esox will eat readily in the super cold water, at least pike and pickerel will. I have heard that muskie are a bit slower in the winter so I assume tigers would be the same, but it's worth a shot. Go slow roll a softbait around em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend something 7-9" that can be fished slow. Something like a magdraft/magslowl or hudd/real prey willlliw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niki814 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Nice slime dart. I would go with tooth proof wire. A splitring to swivel to splitring would work good to. CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how that holds up once I can fish again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim137a Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 @CG_Fishes I’m going to give the Creek Chub Pikies a shot - had a few laying around in my Striper tackle. They’re inexpensive, can dive fairly deep ( 7’ - 8’ ) can be waked by bending the metal lip down - so it gives me a few options covering the water column. They’re on $7 so if a pike takes it I’m not going to flip out. I’ll add some split rings, better hooks and dress the tail hook. FF to about 3 minutes CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
