Northern Pike
If you're chasing Northern Pike in northern New York, the waters around Hammond offer some excellent opportunities. The St. Lawrence River, with its weedy bays and rocky shoals, is prime pike habitat. These fish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure. Spring, right after the ice melts, is a fantastic time to target these fish as they move into shallower bays to spawn. Fall, as the water cools, is also productive as pike feed heavily before winter. For access, several public boat launches are available along the St. Lawrence Seaway near Hammond. Be mindful of strong currents and boat traffic, especially during the summer months. Local tip: try trolling large crankbaits or casting bucktails near weed edges. Pike in this area can be quite large, so be prepared for a fight!
