Nice day for you and your friend Mike, Congrats!!
How deep was the water where you got the pike, any weed beds...and did you try any tip ups?
I've been on St. Clair ice fishing SO many times and have yet to get a pike. Seems like the North lake at Stoney is the only place I can land one, might have to go back there soon.
I would like to unlock the mystery of the St. Clair pike soon!!

Didn't use tip ups. Got them spearing. 6 FOW, a mile from Salt river and a mile from Cotton rd. Very few weeds laying on the bottom.
Yea, they were froze. Left during the blinding snowstorm. The wind was howling on the way back.

Nice job with the gig!! Did you have a decoy out?? Didn't find a gold kens hook in one did you?? I had one on for about 30 seceonds today before he broke the line. Only real action I had today. I was off of cotten and hiked out to the 2nd crack to see what was out there. 7 1/2'deep and a bunch of sand. Had a couple of dinks come in but no takers. Moved half way back to the pack and punched another hole, more sand. 45 minutes later and no fish, moved back between the 2 permenent shantys and caught about 25 dinks and 3 keepers that I tossed back. Fished there a little over an hour. Only 2 fish on minnows, rest came on a firetiger rapala, tipped with a 3/4" gold chain, and a strip of red ballon on a #16 trebel. Didnt see any hogs this time, but some huge gills swam by, like to hook one and see how big they are.
Anyone fish up at fairhaven today ?????????????

Tonga, I used a white wooden decoy amd my buddy uses live shiners. Occasionally I'll also use a small perch for they stay very active for a long time.
