Northern Pike
While Winthrop isn't the first place that springs to mind for pike fishing in Massachusetts, anglers willing to explore its freshwater ponds and the Mystic River watershed might be surprised. Pike are ambush predators, and the weedy, shallow areas of these waters can hold some decent fish. Spring, just after ice-out, is prime time as the pike move into shallow bays to spawn. Fall, as the water cools, is another excellent opportunity to target them as they feed heavily before winter. A local tip: Focus on areas with submerged timber or dense vegetation near deeper water. Many ponds are accessible from shore, but a small boat or kayak will significantly expand your options. Be aware of local regulations regarding pike fishing, including size and creel limits. The pike population here is relatively small, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
