Northern Pike
Northern Pike fishing near Ellison Bay can be an exciting experience, with the chance to hook into some real trophy fish. The waters of Green Bay provide ample habitat for these ambush predators, especially around weed beds, rocky points, and submerged timber. Spring, after the ice melts, is an excellent time to target pike as they move into shallow bays to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. A local tip is to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have incredibly sharp teeth. Also, be prepared for some strong fights, as these fish are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Consider launching from the Northport Pier for easy access to deeper waters, but be aware of the ferry traffic in the area.
