Northern Pike
While not a primary pike destination, Suffern, NY, offers sneaky opportunities to tangle with Northern Pike in some of its larger freshwater bodies. These ambush predators often lurk in weedy areas and along submerged structure. Spring and early fall are the best times to target pike, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for them near weed beds in lakes like Lake Antrim. A productive technique involves casting large spinnerbaits, spoons, or crankbaits along the edges of weedlines. Another tip is to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Be aware that some locations might have specific regulations regarding pike fishing, such as size or creel limits, so always check the local fishing regulations before you go. The pike in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lure sizes and retrieves.
