Early summer is one of the best times to catch northern pike, they are in the shallow weedy bays actively feeding. The “gators” are plentiful and easy to catch. Remember pike love cold water so as the summer heats up they leave the weedy bays and head to deeper water. Always remember big pike can […]

Northern Pike have finally started to bite on the outside weed edge.  I’ve been catching my fish on lindy rigged suckers.  The best depth for me has been 20-26 ft of water.  I’ve been fishing from the Village Supper Club point to the Oriental boathouse.  The size is still a bit small, the biggest fish […]

Yellow Perch fishing has been fantastic on the west end by the Viewcrest Bay.  You want to anchor the boat in 20-22 ft of water.  They are biting on slip bobbers with hellgrammites.  Hellgrammites are outfishing any other bait about 5 to 1.

Yellow perch are also in the shallows.  They can be caught by Belvidere Park in 8-10 ft of water.  The best approach is small fat head minnows fished on a Thill slip bobber.  The only problem has been that the average size is about 5 inches.  You will need to do a lot of sorting […]
