Some of OSF's members or our visitors may live at, or fish, those areas....... hence the caution. Good choice - nice and oily, and scent.....take some thread to tie them on if they get too soft when thawed........but save a few for a quick fried snack. Cheers, OldTimer <>< I once gave up fishing.

RE: Dead Bait Fishing for Pike
Not sure for the exact regs on using dead fish bought from supermarket in zone 16, but have heard of people getting in trouble in the past. Might want to try emailing or talking to an MNR officer about it. But you should definitely find out if what you are doing is legal because ignorance isn't innocence!

RE: Dead Bait Fishing for Pike
Using a large, salty deadbait is a great way to catch a monster pike (or a monster channel cat if fishing the Ottawa or St. Lawrence Rivers) but be prepared to wait and wait and wait..and then go home skunked more often than not. BUT...when you do get a bite it will more than likely be an above average specimen.

RE: Dead Bait Fishing for Pike
Actually what you want is to maximize the salt content. As the bait melts in the water, the salt leaves a nice scent slick for the fish to zero in on. SO..you want to a. obtain a frozen, oily saltwater fish (i.e. mackerel) and b. place it in a ziplock in your freezer with cover of course salt to further increase the salt content.

Smaller baits. Use a 3.5-4" bait and you'll be far less likely to catch a large pike.
