Bait ban ice tips
Gonna be fishing a lake that allows no bait other than artificial. What would be some good things to use. Lake has pike, walleye, perch, burbot, and whites. Should I even bother with a tip up?

I've had luck with a plain jig with white bodies. Small 1/64oz with 1" body for perch to a 1/4oz with 4' body for eyes, pike and burbs.
Othe lures I like are the jiggin rap. Lots of action and it always seems to draw fish in. You could try wire worms or wetskiwin specials fie whites. Then think outside the box, rattle trap crankbaits, spoons and even spinners have worked this winter.
Good luck

Maybe try that berkley gulp alive stuff.
I fish 90% of the time for whites baitless, jigging spoons will catch anything!!

If he is planning to fish a bait ban lake in AB, that includes no scented stuff. Berkley gulp alive would be illegal.

X2...
Even "salt impregnated" would be considered bait the way the regs are written.

Fished Utikima once and a red devil 3" long, no bait, was the trick. Lots and lots of eyes.
