Northern Pike
While not a premier pike destination, Bridgewater offers a few opportunities to tangle with Northern Pike in some of its larger ponds and lakes. Lake Nippenicket, for example, can hold some decent-sized pike. Spring, just after ice-out, is a particularly productive time, as pike are actively feeding after the winter. Fall, as the water cools, is another excellent period to target them. Look for pike in weedy areas, near drop-offs, and around submerged timber. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective lures. A local tip: a steel leader is essential when fishing for pike, as their sharp teeth can easily cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon line. Also, be prepared for some exciting fights, as pike are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. The pike population in Bridgewater is not as dense as in some northern fisheries, but the chance of landing a trophy-sized fish is always there. Respect the fish and practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
