Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike around Mequon, Wisconsin, means exploring the Milwaukee River system and some of the smaller lakes in the surrounding area. The river's weedy backwaters and slower-moving stretches provide ideal ambush points for these predators. Spring (after the spawn) and fall are the peak seasons. During spring, pike are recovering from spawning and actively feeding. In the fall, they're bulking up for winter. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lure choices. For the Milwaukee River, focus on areas near submerged timber and weed edges. Be prepared for some aggressive strikes, as the pike in this area are known for their explosive takes. Consider using a steel leader to prevent bite-offs. Public access to the river is available at several parks, but be sure to check for any restrictions before launching a boat. Pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, with some specimens exceeding 40 inches.
