Northern pike are some of the easiest fish to catch, providing some of the best excitement fishing can offer.

But first you have to find them. Most baitshops are willing to talk about finding northern pike-but don't expect to get much information out of them regarding other fish....like walleye.

It's a good idea to start with the deep weedline. Start with the lively presentation such as cranks or spinners. Troll them right near the edge of the weeds.

Realize northern pike are aggressive...right through the summer...so don't be shy-go for them aggressively!
