I need you boys!!!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Quick strike rig with big live sucker suspended in the top 1/3 of the water column... it's a great shallow water tactic.

Hey Bruin
I don't profess to "really" know, but what catches Pike for me are 5" half-half Williams Whitefish spoons - jigged fairly agressively.

I think the location on the lake is more important than the spoon or lure used... I would setup 100-200 yards into the lake near an inflow...

Good Luck in the tournament!!

Quebec is quite the drive for me to pick up bait!...but I get the point

Thanks alot gents...I know I can count on ya!!!!

Now the key is to put the 10 g's in my pocket, but really, thats just the bonus of a day....Big bonus but a bonus non the less.....
I am hoping the vex gives me the edge....Not to may people willing to pay for an icefishing rod let alone a vexilar...Old school branch and spool for many Northern Ontario Anglers
thanks boys

Chapleau here I come

I'm with Eli on the sucker 1 foot off the bottom near structure. Got me a monster pike with that Thursday. It's been a pretty good producer for me.
