Northern Pike fishing at Sprite
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 2 to 8 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 5 to 16 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 15 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
