Seasonal Activity Chart
Northern Pike
If you're targeting northern pike near Plymouth, Wisconsin, you'll find the best action in the same smaller lakes and flowages that hold largemouth bass. These waters, often stained and weedy, provide ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Spring, right after ice-out, is an excellent time to target pike as they move into shallow bays to spawn and feed aggressively. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective choices during this period. Summer finds the pike holding in deeper weed beds or near structure. Try trolling or casting with larger lures that can penetrate the vegetation. Fall is another prime time as pike actively feed to prepare for winter; consider using larger sucker minnows on a quick-strike rig. A good local tip: focus on areas where the Mullet River flows into or out of a lake or flowage, as these areas often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, pike. Public access points can be limited, so research beforehand. Also, be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as these pike have sharp teeth!
