Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with Northern Pike? Sheldon, Wisconsin offers some exciting options, particularly in the slower-moving sections of the Jump River and the associated flowages. Spring, right after the ice melts, and early fall are prime times to target these aggressive predators. Pike are ambush hunters, so focus on areas with plenty of cover, such as weed beds, fallen trees, and submerged brush. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures. For those preferring live bait, large shiners or suckers can be irresistible. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as Pike have extremely sharp teeth. Public access to the Jump River is available at several bridge crossings and boat launches, offering opportunities for both bank fishing and boat fishing. The Pike in this area can reach impressive sizes, with some specimens exceeding 40 inches. Be prepared for a thrilling fight when you hook into one of these apex predators!
