Ice Fishing Northern Pike:

Ice fishing for Northern Pike is one of the most exciting species to target.

They are aggressive predators. They will take almost anything you offer them, including ice transducers. (Voice of experience here:>)

Most people use "tip-ups" when ice fishing for Northern Pike, although jigging will work also.

Northern Pike tend to be loners, and are found anywhere in the water column. Fishing 1-4 feet just below the ice is a good place to start.

Use large, sharp hooks.

Northern Pike are toothy-creatures so if you want to actually land (ice) one, you will need a steel leader on the end of your ice fishing line.

Watch those teeth if you actually land one. Those teeth can rip your hand up pretty bad and there are germs and bacteria in the saliva that can cause quite an infection.

Sometimes the Northern Pike will just tug at your line...just a little. Play it out. Be careful that you have the right line and make sure that you have your drag set correct.
