Seven of us went and in two days, everybody caught multiple pike over 40”. Most of the biggest pike I’ve ever caught have been out there in March. Last year was my first time heading north to fish with Cooke in the Red Lake area and that was next-level fishing. Sunset Country pike - big and fun to catch! That part of it you have to figure out by dropping some lines. On some of the shallow, tannic-colored lakes, you might be fishing shallower. It’s all relative to the water you’re fishing. Usually, this is when you go from six or eight feet of water out to that fifteen to twenty range. When I describe choosing a location, I always tell people that I like to fish at the first drop into deeper water. If you’re serious about catching pike, both big ones and numbers, you want to concentrate your fishing efforts in March when these fish start congregating in front of the shallow weed-filled bays where they will spawn shortly after ice out. It’s not that consistent but every other trip we’ll catch a big fish so it’s worth putting a line out.
You will run into big pike quite often while fishing the same humps that we fish for walleyes.
Years ago I started putting out cisco on a tip-up as my second line throughout the winter while walleye fishing. There are endless spots for ice fishing in Ontario's Sunset Country.Įarlier in the winter, pike can be found shallow, deep, and in between.
