Northern Pike
Looking for some toothy critters? Keewatin, Minnesota, is prime Northern Pike territory. The numerous lakes and rivers in the region provide ideal habitat for these ambush predators. The Mississippi River and connected lakes are known to hold abundant pike. Spring is an excellent time to target them as they move into shallow bays to spawn. As the water warms in summer, look for them around weed beds and submerged structure. Fall is another great time as they fatten up for winter. A local tip: use a steel leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have razor-sharp teeth. Also, be prepared for some exciting topwater action, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. The pike in this area can grow to impressive sizes, with some fish exceeding 40 inches. They are aggressive feeders and will readily strike a variety of lures, including spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits. Don't be afraid to experiment to see what they're hitting on a given day.
