Northern Pike
If you're looking to tangle with some northern pike near Brooklyn Center, the Mississippi River and its connected backwaters offer good opportunities. Look for pike in weedy areas, near submerged timber, and along current breaks. Spring is an excellent time, as pike are aggressive after spawning. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Don't be afraid to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Summer can also be productive, especially during early morning or evening hours. A practical tip: focus on areas where smaller baitfish are present. The pike will be nearby, waiting to ambush their prey. The pike in this area can range in size from hammer handles to respectable trophies. Be mindful of the regulations regarding size and possession limits for pike in the Mississippi River. Public access is available at several boat launches along the river, but be aware of potential boat traffic, especially on weekends.
