Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike in the Fond du Lac area, Lake Winnebago is your primary destination. This large lake holds a healthy population of pike, offering anglers a chance to tangle with some real trophies. Spring and fall are the best times to target pike, as they are most active in cooler water temperatures. During the spring spawn, they can be found in shallow, weedy bays. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. In the fall, pike often move to deeper water near structure. Trolling large crankbaits or using live bait rigs can produce results. A local tip: use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Pay attention to weed edges and submerged vegetation, as these are prime ambush points. Several boat launches around Lake Winnebago provide excellent access, but be prepared for potentially rough water conditions on windy days.
