Decided I’m going to head out somewhere tomorrow and set tip ups for pike, since I haven’t done it in probably 7-8 years. From what I remember, I would just look for weed flats/edges in 5-10 feet and set a quick strike/sucker a few feet down. Had decent success. I’m trying to decide where I should go. I don’t want to just catch hammer handles all day, but don’t need a “trophy” either. Just a good handful of mid 20’s to 30 or so inchers would be A-Ok for me. Should I throw a dart at the map or head 30-60 mins north of the cities(have a couple lakes in mind up there) or head in some southerly direction(never ice fished down there). I know of a lake near Victoria, MN(west) where we’d catch a few pike while crappie/bass fishing back in the day. Maybe I’m just thinking out loud, pointlessly…idk
