Northern Pike
Antigo, Wisconsin offers some fantastic Northern Pike fishing, particularly in its many flowages and lakes. These weedy waters provide the perfect habitat for pike to ambush their prey. Spring is an excellent time to target pike as they move into the shallows to spawn, and they're often aggressive after the ice melts. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective choices for covering water quickly. Summer can be good too, but focus on deeper weed edges and submerged structure. Fall is another prime time, as pike feed heavily in preparation for winter. A great local tip is to try fishing with large sucker minnows under a tip-up during the early ice fishing season – it's a classic technique for targeting big pike. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have razor-sharp teeth. The pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 40 inches not uncommon. Anglers should be prepared for a powerful fight!
