Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike in Ashland, Wisconsin, you'll want to focus your attention on the Chequamegon Bay area. While Lake Superior itself is vast and cold, the shallow, weedy bays and sloughs offer excellent pike habitat. Early spring, right after ice-out, is a fantastic time to target these predators as they are actively feeding after a long winter. Late summer and early fall can also be productive. Look for weedy areas and creek mouths. A great access point is the launch near Kreher Park. Pike in Chequamegon Bay can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 40 inches not uncommon. Use large spinnerbaits, spoons, or even dead bait rigs. Be prepared for some toothy action, and always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Local knowledge suggests focusing on areas with slightly stained water, as the pike seem to prefer it.
