What is the best bait for ice fishing pike? Diehard ice anglers say while any weed type is good, the best variety is cabbage in 5-15 feet of water. Specifically, you are trying to take advantage of a large weed flat that will readily hold baitfish. Large bays are some of the best spots to target winter northern pike. Start by fishing outside weed edges and offshore humps and bars. As winter progresses Northern Pike follow the food and move further out.
