MICHIGAN PIKE FISHING

Aggressive anglers fishing for pike, the mammoth freshwater fish with a maximum recorded length of 6 feet and weight of 77 pounds, will enjoy Michigan pike fishing, where trophy pike swim freely in the bountiful lakes and rivers. Michigan boasts a great pike habitat, especially in the big waters connected to the Great Lakes where fish can reproduce in the shallow water.
Here's where Michigan pike fishing is best:
* St Marys River -- great northern pike can find optimal prey in this huge body of water so they survive longer and grow bigger.
* Van Etten Lake -- Iosco County's 1300 acre lake, where 10 to 12 pound pike are common and 20 pounders are sometimes found.
The KickTail XL-5 is becoming the envy
of all fishermen

* Michigan center chain of lakes -- Southern Michigan's best pike waterways.
* Lake Cadillac -- a pike factory that has produced pike up to 24 pounds.
* Portage Lake -- an outage to Lake Michigan, this 2110 acre lake features pike that approach 20 pounds and 40 inches in length.
One professional fisherman suggests large baits should be used for Michigan pike fishing -- "the action won't be fast, but when you get one it'll be a good one." A lure you might try is the KickTail from NGC Sports, the world leader in scientific fishing lures (http://www.ngcsports.com). The lure mimics the motion of a real fish with patented technology that breaks the tail into five segments, which causes the tail to wag, unlike other hard baits. The lure was tested by professional fishermen and caught almost three times as many fish as other lures and live bait and it frequently caught bigger fish, like pike.
The KickTail is one of many fine lures available from NGC Sports, which has won awards for its tournament tested lures and has sold millions of them, but not in stores. |
