Ice Pike Porn!

[davetclown]

wax worms work great. [laugh] they do... I loose a lot of panfish jigs that way.[:p]

that is not how I target pike.

I am alowed to use live bait here in michigan. how ever dead minnows work great as well. those pickled berkley fake shads will also work.

I like to use a combination of rigs. depends on how much work I am willing to do that day.

here is a few photos of my ice pike [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=574"][#0000ff]Fishing Rigs[/#0000ff][/url]. they all work equaly well. You can go though my album to see if you can pick up on any ideas of your own.

as for terminal hookups. I use 3/4 in trebble hook for my set lines and tipups. get a good quality steel hook. 40lb or better black or green braded line on your tipups. I use 8 lb on my set lines but I do use steel leaders on all my setups.

I use this becon at night. It keeps snowmobiles and what nots from running over my tipups. all it is ... a peice of 3inch pvc tube about 24 inches in lenth and a self adheasive caution reflector sticker.
