on tip ups should i let the fish eat the minnow for a while thatn set the hook or get to the tip up write away and set the hook as soon as possible?

[WebguyAngler]

I always set the hook right away.

chain pickrel???

[WebguyAngler]

Esox niger more commonly called chain pickerel due to the chain like pattern on their sides. They also have a black marking that extends down from each eye which a pike does not have.

[redwingsfan1713]

will a medium size crappie, or a medium sized blue gill set off a tip up like that?

[WebguyAngler]

crappie will for sure, possibly a gill

[cjsuttera]

I agree 5 minuets is pretty long I wait about 30 seconds before I set it

@ihuntwisconsin I disagree. Myslelf and 3 others went ice fishing yesterday and we brought home 12 northerns averaging 3 and a half pounds. Not once did we hesitate to set the hook, yes wait to feel tension, then set the hook, but dont wait 5 minutes, I never heard of that. The longer we waited to get to the tip ups the more we lost fish...

@muskybill95 ypu wait till the fish moves slow

[ihuntwisconsin]

@muskybill95 you should actually wait for atleast 5 minutes before even walkin over to the tipup

@WebguyAngler Everyone I see fishing lets the tip up run although I always set the hook right away and I have a good hook up rate!
