Northern Pike

Northern Pike anglers visiting Posen, Michigan, can find some rewarding fishing in the area's numerous inland lakes. These waters often feature abundant weed growth, providing ideal habitat for pike to ambush prey. Spring, after the ice melts, is a prime time as pike move into shallow weedy bays to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and jerkbaits are effective lures to use around these areas. Summer can also be productive by targeting deeper weed lines and submerged structure. A local tactic is to use a wire leader to prevent pike from biting through your line. Many of the lakes around Posen have public access sites, but some are smaller and may only accommodate smaller boats or canoes. Be sure to check the lake maps and access points before heading out.
