Seasonal Activity Chart
Northern Pike
Northern pike fishing near Hammond, Wisconsin, centers around the many natural lakes and flowages in the area. These waters, often characterized by their weedy shallows and abundant baitfish, provide ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Spring and early summer are peak seasons. As the ice melts, pike move into the shallows to spawn and aggressively feed to regain energy. Focus on weedy bays and areas with submerged timber. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Another great option is fishing with live bait, such as sucker minnows, under a bobber. Lake Magnor is a popular spot known for its pike population. Also, explore the smaller, less-pressured lakes in the surrounding area. Be prepared for toothy critters – use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. The pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 40 inches being caught regularly. Handle pike with care, using long-nosed pliers to remove hooks, and consider practicing catch-and-release to help maintain the quality of the fishery.
