I know it's July but I was thinking about ice fishing and I do ice fish quite a bit for sunfish crappie and trout. But this year I'd like to try to walleye musky and pike. Never pursued thn thru the ice befor e anyone have ideas in starting points or any advice. I have tip ups ice rods and everything needed for ice fishing jus would like some specific info on these three fish thru the ice

use dynamite
LOL! Actually, I'm interested in this too. Curious to see what people post. If you live in Clarion, I live in New Bethlehem. It's only about 20 mins from you. We should go fishing some time. How well do you know Kahle?

I dont live in clarion and never have fished kahle but would love to do some fishin sometime

i dont fish for em but i figure i have a peg on catching them . find your drop offs/shelves for the eyes using jigging spoons and raps for eyes , muskie can be had on weed edges with crappie and bluegill shallow on tip ups , and pike depending what lakes your targeting them at like big creek bait or small panfish also on tipups ... trial and error man should def get some fish 
 

I was kinda thinking big bait on a tip up but I am worried the bait would keep settin the tip up off. And when ever I fish the toothy critter with bait it's always alive in the summer but would using dead bait be any good?

pike luv ded bait....sometimes right under the ice.

we use frozen smelt from supermarket on tipups. on bottom, suspended few ft. above bottom ,or, like pork says, right under the ice. (for pike, that is.

For most places try using some small crappies if you can get them pike really like crappies because they can scale them easily. Best bets are at Eaton using dink perch, I always get into a lot of them
