Northern Pike
Green Bay is a Northern Pike paradise, offering diverse habitats that hold impressive fish. The expansive bay, along with its many tributaries and connected lakes, provides ample opportunities. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to target pike, as they are more active in cooler water. In the spring, focus on shallow, weedy bays where pike spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective for covering water. As the water warms, pike will move to deeper weed edges and structure. In the fall, they often return to shallower areas to feed heavily before winter. A local tip: The waters near Sturgeon Bay offer excellent pike fishing, with several public boat launches providing access. Remember to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, and be prepared for aggressive strikes. The pike in Green Bay are known for their size and fighting ability.
