Northern Pike
Pike in the Granite State? Absolutely! While not as common as bass or trout, you can find Northern Pike relatively close to Somersworth, New Hampshire. Head towards the larger lakes in the region, like Great East Lake and Milton Pond. These lakes offer the weedy habitat that Pike love. Early spring (ice-out) and late fall are your best bets, as the pike are more active in cooler water. Big lures are the name of the game: swimbaits, crankbaits, and large spoons are all effective. A key local tactic: focus on the shallow, weedy bays in the early morning and late evening. These areas warm up quickly in the spring and hold plenty of baitfish. Boat access is available at both Great East Lake and Milton Pond, but be prepared for some competition, especially on weekends. Pike in this region tend to be ambush predators, so cover a lot of water until you find them.
