Скачать или смотреть Ice Fishing for Walleye and Pike

Setting up tip-ups for ice fishing in Montana.

The ice was finally thick enough to start setting up tip-ups. I drilled some holes, only to find that the water was extremely low. Took a bit of time, but was finally able to find a couple feet of water to fish in.

I found that the best way to fish with tip-ups, especially for walleye and pike, is to use live minnows. 3 inch minnows worked best for the 17" walleye that you want to eat. I also find that the best bite is usually overnight. So if you are able to find a spot that allows you to leave tip-ups in, I highly recommend setting fresh bait in the evening and checking tip-ups in the morning.
