Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted May 27, 2015 I've tried that little pond at the Marina lots. I ALWAYS have better luck in the main Lake. Just walk the shore and cast. Nothing worse than casting to same pond over and over without catching anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnZ 66 Report post Posted May 27, 2015 I was thinking about trying some of the slack water at the mouth of the current river with my boat just have to get a truck to move it, what do you guys think of that? I've also read good things about Black Bay. What lures/bait are you's using? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbayfinn 47 Report post Posted May 27, 2015 Big but lightweight spoons (so they don't sink as fast and get snagged), floating rapalas, big bucktail spinners. I crimp off the barbs and remove a hook or two from the rapalas to make life easier to release slot sized and big fish. My son got a big treble hook lodged in his thumb from a pike head shake and the doctor was thankful there was no barb ..... I have seen guys catching pike fly fishing as well...

scandiman 114 Report post Posted May 27, 2015 Black Bay on Lake Superior offers trophy sized pike (40+ inches). You can catch them from shore off or near the Hurkett dock or if you have a boat you can cover more water within black bay and cranberry bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foz 25 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Some spots on Lac I know, hammertime for big pike. Dexter Lake has alsways been good to me for big pike. For me, I usually catch a big monster pike when I am fishing walleye. Catching a bunch of nice walleye and a big pike comes to check out what is going on.

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted May 31, 2015 There was one day last summer when I was fishing at the marina. Found some nice wood piles off shore and started fishing around the logs. After fishing this spot for a few minutes, to my surprise one of the logs started moving, it moved right up into about 2 feet of water and cruised the shore for a couple minutes, this pike was easily over 45" and crushed the 20 lb mark. I threw every fly I had at it without a sniff, he swam off into the depths, never to be seen again. This fish was beat to crap and had very visible scarring all over it. Needless to say, if you fish the marina enough you are bound to catch an absolute beast, just put in the time and you will be rewarded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
