They suspend at all depths. Typically cruise in about 4 to 8 feet of water when looking for baitfish or other meals. Catching them through the ice is the best time. They are very smart fish though, they hesitate befoer striking and can stalk prey/bait for a half hour or more before taking off with it. Any slight sign of tackle, weights, or too thick of leaders can scare the pike off though so make sure you use a nice thin steel leader, or even better that ive found is to make your own flourocarbon leaders about 10 at a time and keep them in your tacklebox.
