I'd like to figure out the pike again. I think they are still there, just moved a little deeper chasing smelts as the main food source. I've only been fishing Sak for 6 years, but its night and day difference between the last few winters and winters of 12', 13', 14'. It used to be crazy easy to go throw tip ups out shallow 4-12', or cut a spear hole almost anywhere and see good numbers of pike. The last few years it has been downright tough to find any consistent numbers. This year I will be spending majority of my time pike fishing in 15+ FOW.
