Northern Pike fishing at Midas
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 13 ft that scores prime in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
