Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some northern pike? Crandon, Wisconsin, is a great base for exploring the northwoods' pike fishing opportunities. The area is characterized by numerous lakes and flowages, many with the weedy habitat that pike love. Spring, right after ice-out, is an excellent time to target these aggressive predators as they move into shallow bays to spawn. Fall is also productive as pike feed heavily before winter. Lake Lucerne and several of the smaller, unnamed lakes accessible via county roads are worth exploring. A practical tip: bring a good selection of weedless lures, such as spoons, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics, as the vegetation can be thick. Also, consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. The pike in this region can range from smaller hammer handles to impressive trophy fish, so be prepared for anything!
