Hi ff!

TRIPLE OUCH Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation

Pike Bait Question

Connecticut Outfitters would be the closest.
BUT Exclamation You better call first Exclamation

"ALL" the tackle shops in CT, VT, N.H., Maine,R.I., Mass. and N.Y. are having a SUPER HARD TIME trying to get big pike bait.
That fact has been posted on a lot of ice fishing forums.
AND IF YOU FIND ANY IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation

Lot of guys are catching and using Yellow Perch, Suckers, and Blue Gills as Pike bait because they can't get big minnows 5 inches or better in size.

Since Pike are also bottom scavangers I'd suggest go to your nearest supermarket and buy some fresh smelt. They'll come with the heads off but the Pike won't care Exclamation
Oh! Even some fresh Mackerel has been used successfully!

Good luck!
