Northern Pike
Pike anglers visiting the Village of the Branch should focus their attention on the Nissequogue River. This tidal river provides a diverse habitat that northern pike find appealing, including weed beds, submerged timber, and backwater areas. Spring is an excellent time to target pike as they become active after spawning. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lure choices for covering water and enticing strikes. In the fall, as water temperatures cool, pike will aggressively feed in preparation for winter. A local tip: Focus on areas where the current slows down, as pike often ambush prey from these ambush points. Public access to the river is available at several points, but a boat or kayak will allow you to explore a wider range of fishing spots. Be mindful of the tide, as pike activity can fluctuate with the changing water levels. While trophy-sized pike are not common in this area, you can expect to encounter pike in the 2-5 pound range, providing for some exciting action.
