Anyone have any suggestions on a decent pike lake within 100 mi of twin cities,I would go up north further but dont have the time this fall...Tried Big Marine last fall a couple times,nuthin over 6lbs Thanks
A few weeks ago we went 4/7 on northern on the St. Croix north of Stillwater in about 2 hrs fishing. Definitely some good action. All fish were 30-37''. Within an hour or so of the cities I'd reccomend the upper st croix or pool 4.
My favorite areas on the pond for fall pike are the weedbeds in Garrison Bay and along the north shore. Working them over are a great way to pass the time before the eyes turn on in the shallows at night.
