Northern Pike
If you're looking for Northern Pike near Kenosha, focus your efforts on the harbors and nearshore areas of Lake Michigan, and the lower reaches of the Root River. These ambush predators lurk near weed beds, docks, and other structures, waiting for unsuspecting prey. Spring and fall are the prime times to target pike, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures, as are live or dead baitfish presented under a bobber. A crucial local tip: use a wire leader to prevent pike from biting through your line. The pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a fight. Focus on areas with slightly stained water, as pike often prefer these conditions. Be mindful of other boat traffic, particularly in the harbors, and always practice safe boating etiquette.
