Pike from the ice

At the start of the year I’ve totally concentrated on Pike fishing from the ice. I’m using live baits for this. In my opinion that is by far the most exciting way to fish from the ice.

Waiting for the bite.

Basic Pike of about 2½ kilos.

My results have been quite good too. At my very first trip at the beginning of the January I caught nine Pike from which the biggest one weighed 8,6 kilos. I also caught couple of fish around five kilos on that session. I have also caught Pikes of 6,5 and 7,2 kilos so I really can say this have been a good winter for me. I have made almost all my trips alone but about an week ago I was on the ice with Viljami. That was not a super trip but we still caught few Pike each.

Best fish so far. A nice fat Pike of 8,6 kilos.

I’ve been laying sick at home for four days now. Hopefully I can get back to the ice by the end of the week.

Viljami is playing with a Pike.

And the result. Pike of about five kilos (93cm).

Catch & Release. Of course.
