I have noticed that, over the last little while, there have been quite a few posts from people that are new to ice fishing looking for advice. My son has been making fishing and hunting videos for a little bit and he decided that he should make a 'Guide to Tip-Up Fishing for Pike'.
If you have seen any of his videos on YouTube in the past, you know that we ice fish for pike quite a bit. This video includes many of the things that I/we have learned over hundreds of trips over the past 2 decades. Hopefully you learn something new that increases your chances of having a successful trip.
