Rating depth structure for northern pike.

338-acre lake near Missinipe. The lake tops out around 22 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 337 acres, worked by 7 miles of shoreline — one island included. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.7) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Roughly 84% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 2.1 mi with a 0.6-mi widest point. Division No. 18 claims this one. Hine Lake sits 1 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
In spring, cisco (lake herring) run shallow here, mostly 6 to 22 ft. Summer keeps them at 7 to 22 ft, and they winter in 7 to 22 ft. Spring cisco (lake herring) concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 19 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (19 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Summer | 7 to 22 ft | dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 22 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 7 to 22 ft | dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Spring lake trout on McComb Lake hold shallow, usually 6 to 22 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 7 to 22 ft in summer, 6 to 22 ft once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 19 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 7 to 22 ft | dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 4 to 22 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 6 to 22 ft | dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 7 to 22 ft. Summer keeps them at 7 to 22 ft, and they winter in 7 to 22 ft. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 19 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 7 to 22 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 7 to 22 ft | dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 22 ft | dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 7 to 22 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 3 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, yellow perch run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 7 to 22 ft, and winter fish settle into 7 to 22 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 3 ft, rated prime for spring yellow perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 7 to 22 ft | dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 7 to 22 ft | midday | Deep basin (19 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 7 to 22 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
