I like to use smelt, and have had good luck doing so, but I have heard of other people using hot dogs and other things. Just wanted to know what you have luck with.
Frozen suckers or if you can frozen herring is the best
people fish for pike on purpose? ;:;rofl
Guilty as charged... If they could GM them to be non slimy, theyd be the perfect freshwater sport AND food fish!
There have been times when I have had much better luck with small smelt than large, even for larger fish. I remember one time specifically I couldnt get a bite till I switched all my 6-8 inch smelt out for 3-4 inch ones and then the fishing picked right up. I guess it just depends what the fish are in the mood for.

I used to buy herring and smelt and never had much luck with the herring.
I don't ice fish because it's cold. I request someone try soaking a big Gulp Alive swimbait this year.
