Northern Pike
Although East Hills, NY, isn't necessarily known as a pike fishing destination, determined anglers can find Northern Pike in some of the larger ponds and quieter backwaters connected to the local waterways. These fish are predators, so targeting areas with abundant baitfish is key. Spring is prime time, especially after ice-out when pike are actively feeding. Large swimbaits, spoons, and spinnerbaits are excellent lure choices. Live bait, such as shiners, can also be very effective. Access to these pike fishing spots can be limited, so research public access points and be prepared to walk. Pike in these locations may not reach trophy sizes, but catching a few in the 2-5 pound range is definitely possible. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Remember to handle pike carefully to avoid damaging their slime coat.
