Northern Pike
If Northern Pike are on your target list near Solvay, NY, Oneida Lake is again a prime location. Its weedy bays and shallow flats offer ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Spring, shortly after ice-out, and fall are the best times to target pike, as they move into shallower water to feed. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures, as are live or dead bait presentations. Local Tip: Focus your efforts around weed beds and submerged structure. Pike often lie in wait, ready to strike at passing prey. Also, be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. The pike population in Oneida Lake is robust, with fish commonly reaching impressive sizes. Anglers regularly report catching pike over 40 inches. Be prepared for an exciting fight, as these fish are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs.
