Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike near Chilton, Wisconsin, the interconnected waterways of the Manitowoc River system are your best bet. Pike thrive in these weedy, slow-moving waters, ambushing prey from the cover of submerged vegetation and fallen timber. Spring (especially after ice-out) and fall are prime times, as pike are actively feeding to spawn or prepare for winter. Try trolling large spoons or crankbaits along the edges of weed beds, or cast bucktails and jerkbaits into likely ambush points. A steel leader is essential due to the pike's sharp teeth. Access is available via several public boat launches along the river, but be prepared for shallow water and potential obstructions. Consider using a smaller boat or kayak to navigate more easily. Local anglers often have success using sucker minnows under a bobber in the spring. The pike in this area aren't usually giants, but they are aggressive and plentiful, providing consistent action.
