Northern Pike

Northern pike are a popular target for anglers fishing around Caseville, particularly in Saginaw Bay and its connected waterways. The weedy shallows and back bays offer ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Wildfowl Bay, Sebewaing Bay, and the mouths of rivers flowing into Saginaw Bay are all worth exploring. Spring is an excellent time to target pike as they move into shallow areas to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Tip: try fishing with a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Access is good via several public boat launches around Caseville. Be aware of shallow water and submerged vegetation, especially when navigating in smaller bays. Pike in this area often reach impressive sizes, making for an exciting fishing experience. Consider using a landing net to safely handle these toothy predators.
