Northern PikeTechniqueIce Fishing Tip-UpsSeasonIceStructureLedgesThe pike are liking minnows on treble hooks about 3in off the bottom preferably off a ledge or weeds. I prefer tip ups but you could throw the rig on a rod and that would be fine. They’re really aggressive and plentiful so cover as much ice as possible. Also may try a spoon.

My rig was a simPoe white white bass rig with a 1/16 ounce green jig head with a trailer from Bobby garland crawfish color. I just let my rig sit on top of those rock piles and felt something bit. Boom this guys hit it.

Fish are positioned near deep sections in the river, and behind rocks. Fluke was rigged on a 5/0 Superlined Gamakatsu EWG.
