Headed out to the Miss with Dano on what turned out to be a pretty nice day... weather wise.
Even though we marked lots of fish in the 20ft range and tried different presentations, the fish were very finicky today.
They would race in, look at the bait for a while, then take off without even a nibble.
Still, we managed a few fish starting the day with my PB sucker!
Dano with the first pike.
This next pike was taken on a Bro Bug jig with a Trigger X maggot. ...there's my new "go to" pike bait right there!
There would also be a perch caught, a fish lost at the hole (never saw it) and a missed hook set by Dano on something that hit his lure hard (probably another pike).
That was about it for the day... good times.

Nice pike
Nice catch! I want to start ice fishing with my son but we have never been yet. We would really like someone to show us the ropes sometime. We may head out searching for fishermen during Friday or Saturday afternoon just to feel things out. We fish that lake in the summer and had a bunch of big large mouth this year. I will post some pics soon of our summer haul.
