Northeast - Lake Ontario
May - June. I fish very slow Storm Kicking minnows in Bay's and channels off of Lake Ontario. The big fish are still holding in those locations after spawn.
June - Aug - I hit smaller Pike in the Bay's and channels simply because the water is too warm to hold the bigger fish. White Spinnerbaits will catch the 21" - 32" inchers all day.
The Big Pike want the cooler more oxygenated water so I go out into Lake Ontario hitting Large rock shoulders or we have several submerged cement docks in about 10-20 feet of water. If you go there in the morning, you look down and see some BIG 40+ ichers down there. Best bet is to use a big Pike jig to pull these guys out. Brown color works best
Sep - Nov. This is where you can fish in any of the locations and hit some big pike. Big 10" kicking minnows at a slow retrieval work fantastic.
