Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike near Beverly, MA, requires some exploration, but it can be rewarding. Focus your attention on the larger, weedy ponds and slow-moving sections of rivers in the surrounding area. While not a classic pike destination, some of the larger ponds connected to the Ipswich River system may hold pike. Spring is an excellent time to target them as they move into shallow weedy areas to spawn. Fall is also productive as they bulk up before winter. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are effective lures. Live bait, such as shiners, can also be productive. Be prepared for some dense vegetation and bring weedless rigs. Access to some of these areas can be limited, so research boat launch locations and consider using a kayak or canoe to reach prime fishing spots. Pike in this region may not be trophy-sized, but they offer exciting fishing.
