Northern Pike
Targeting Northern Pike around Kewanna, Indiana, means exploring the region's less-known freshwater haunts. While not a renowned pike destination, the scattered lakes and backwaters offer opportunities for those willing to explore. Spring, just after ice-out, is the peak season as pike are aggressive and near the surface. Focus on weedy bays and areas with submerged structure. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective, as are dead bait rigs fished near the bottom. Fall, as water temperatures cool, is another excellent time to target pike as they actively feed. Be aware that many of the smaller lakes lack developed boat ramps, so a smaller boat or kayak is often necessary. Local tip: Check with local bait shops for up-to-date information on water levels and recent pike sightings. Don't expect trophy-sized fish consistently; pike in this area tend to be smaller, but the chance for a surprising catch is always there.
