Northern Pike
Chasing Northern Pike around Williams Bay, Wisconsin, means exploring the diverse habitats of Geneva Lake. This lake offers plenty of structure, from shallow weedy bays to deep, rocky points, all holding pike. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as pike move into shallower water to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective for covering water quickly. Don't overlook using large sucker minnows under a bobber near weed edges. The pike in Geneva Lake can be quite large, so be prepared with heavier tackle and a steel leader. One tip is to focus on areas where creeks or rivers enter the lake, as these spots often attract baitfish and, consequently, pike. Be mindful of the lake's clear water; using fluorocarbon leaders can improve your presentation. The public boat launch on Geneva Lake is easily accessible, but can get crowded, especially during peak season.
