Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike near Racine, Wisconsin, Lake Michigan and its connecting waterways offer some exciting opportunities. While not as abundant as in some inland lakes, the pike in these waters can reach impressive sizes. Focus your efforts around weed beds, submerged timber, and near the mouths of rivers and creeks flowing into Lake Michigan. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target pike, as they are more active in cooler water temperatures. Large spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are effective lures. A local tip: focus on areas with stained water, as pike often prefer these conditions. Be prepared for aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. Access to Lake Michigan is readily available through the Racine Harbor and several public boat launches. While targeting pike, keep an eye out for other species like musky, which occasionally share the same habitat.
