Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike near Brockton requires a bit of exploration, but it can be rewarding. Concentrate on larger bodies of water with weedy cover and plenty of forage fish. Silver Lake, though located a bit outside of Brockton, is a solid option known to hold pike. The early spring, just after ice-out, is a fantastic time to target these predators as they become very active. Late fall, when the water cools again, is another excellent period. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective choices. Don't be afraid to use a wire leader, as pike have sharp teeth. A local tip: check the stocking reports from MassWildlife, as they occasionally stock pike in certain waters. The pike in this region aren't typically trophy-sized, but fish in the 5-8 pound range are certainly possible. Focus on areas with dense vegetation, as pike are ambush predators.
