dude needs to shave ^^^

You could probably get one at Saratoga Bait & Tackle just across the 9P bridge off Exit 14 in the shopping center on your left after you cross the bridge over Saratoga Lake.  If not you could get one at Walmart off Exit 15N by turning right at the traffic light then get in the left hand lane and turn left into the Walmart Shopping Center and go to the Sports Department.

Is this lake a producer of Big Pike if not where would be the place to go for the big ones?

Last year we were getting 6 thru 11 pounders. This year the biggest I've got is about 5. I know there are bigger (15 to 20 range) in there just haven't found them yet this year.

Welcome aboard !!! .... > Wisdom take notice ya got competition .... lol

What u guys using out there Tip Ups? what # Test? Suckers? Shiners? Trebles? what size treble or whatever hook ur using?

Whip-ups (or Tip-ups), Med. Shiners, #4 Black Octopus or Bait Holder Hooks (I release most of the time, less damage then trebles use trebles if you prefer) on a 2 foot 20# Mono Leader with 20# Braid on Whip-ups or 36# Tip-up line on Tip-ups (duh) as backing a foot or 2 off the bottom in anywheres from 4 to 15 feet of water. Sometimes I'll double rig with one right on the bottom and one 2 foot up or one at 2 up and the other 4 foot up. Now, would you like me to bait the hook and take the fish off for you? ...Lmao J/K Good Luck....Tight Lines....Cheers

Here is a Whip-up....

I like that whip-up, is that your invention? I wonder if you can make battery motorized whip-ups to auto jig small lures ? I was thinking about making a device when I using two jig rods sitting between holes about two arm lenghts apart. I wanted to  see if one lure worked better than the other. Still can't be sure. I kinda concluded if the fish are there, they'll hit any panfish lure. But I like that system, watching the video it certaining has advantages. cool video clip ,cheers!

They were invented in the 70's on the great lakes for fishing trout that tend to drop the bait before you can set the hook with a normal tip-up. Whip-ups set the hook for you. If you want a jigging tip-up you could go with a Windlass Tip-Up that works with the wind or a Jig-Up Automatic tip-up that runs on batteries. Here are some links to them. 
 
Windlass Tip-Up about $14
