A section of the Pine River in Wexford County, Michigan.
Details: Northern Pike
Went out for a quick AM sesh on the Pine west of Alma. Lots of these pike between 18-25", lots of fun. They were ambushing the spoon along weedlines and lily ...more pads in 2-5fow. Good fun, had two really small largemouths as well, pretty River, good day!

I had the most success w/the weedless spoon, the pine is full of beautiful weed beds. Casting up current and retrieving right into and through the weeds produced ...more solid action all day. Awesome day!

Tried 4 different sized rapalas/rebel minnows on this guy with only one half-hearted look. Then I noticed him picking at the rocks on the bottom, he pounced on a ...more slow bottom bumping retrieve. 2fow.
Outstanding catches of Bluegill, perch and Crappie. Look for northerns, Walleye and bass as well!
A shallow, dark brown lake with abundant weed growth. Best action is in early spring and late fall when the weeds are down.
Focus on the shorelines, drop offs, and weedlines. Live bait works best for panfish while spinners, spoons, jigs, topwaters, soft plastics, and crankbaits work best for bass. You can find trout shallo...
