Crawling Valley ice fishing

[bpk1982]

Hello gents. Been ice fishing at Crawling a few times this year and have been catching walleye and pike. Popular lake as theres usually many others fishing. Typically I'm jigging with a jig head and a minnow in one hole and a tip up with a 6" smelt in the other. I dont have electronics and I've been usually in 10 to 20' of water. Like I said I've been catching fish but would like to target big pike. Been catching mostly 5 to 7 pounders. Are there big girls in there? How would I target them? Bigger bait? What about staying away from the crowds? Tips appreciated.
