I have seen that video it looks like a blast

Settle down. The best month of the year for ice fishing just started yesterday. ;)

^^^ Yup.

Boo ice fishing :snapoutofit:

Bring on open water

Lol oh come on now no need to be like that, ice fishing is for the hardier types for sure but we all enjoy open water when it comes.

Cool video top water pike are a lot of fun.

You beat me by a day or two. Twitchy myself! Sent a couple open water pics today.

I was catching pike ice fishing this morning and it’s just not the same. It’s just enough to keep my sanity till real fishing starts

I'm not ready for open water. I don't want ice fishing to end

Ya it’s march madness around here....but my thoughts are drifting already:)

There has to be a place where we can do it all:thinking-006:

Just look at that glassy watered peace & solitude!!
Such a Beaut video..the very reasons I shall never disclose my fishing holes, lol!

I gotta get one of those duck lures!

Get a whopper plopper instead and thank me later :)

Never heard of this lure until my wife snagged a fishing line while walleye fishing and at the end of it was this so called whopper popper. Never seen this lure before so googled it and yup it catches pike!
Funny is that same area I snagged a rod there too gonna go back this spring and see if I can snag more gear. Lol [emoji38]

I have poppers and woodchoppers but will definitely add the whopper plopper to my arsenal! I love top water fishing in the spring! Thanks!

Just gonna ask if the area you fish is open to catch and keep one? Wish I was still in the SIOUX LOOKOUT

Pretty cool video. Got to love top water catches. I love when a bass comes out of the Lilly pads to grab a frog bait skipping along as well

I have had luck on a large variety of top water lures but I mostly build my own lures

Pike also like crawlers(jitter bug style)surface gliders(spook), wake baits, and prop style lures. Another is floating soft plastics rigged weedless

Draw/tag on Ethel lake which has huge eyes, Marie ya can keep and cold lake too:sHa_shakeshout:
