The mouths of bays and rivers are high-end spots.
Northern Pike spawn immediately after the ice goes out, so late in each ice season, these fish make a predictable migration to the shallow, weedy bays where all the action goes down. Until the ice actually melts, most of these fish hang around the first drop off where the shallow water starts to taper off.
It's a great time of the year to film videos and take pictures as well, because it is usually warm, so the fish don't freeze and all of our equipment works properly.Ī beautiful northern pike! Monster Pike Time I invite good friends to visit from all over and have been fortunate to catch some of the largest pike, lake trout, and walleye that I have ever had my hands on. Over the past decade, I have spent as much time on the ice during this period. My trips right now are usually heading out in the afternoon to catch a few walleye and crappie for dinner. My fishing tournament schedule, fishing the Walmart FLW Tour, has me on the road quite a bit in the winter to the southern U.S., but I am really excited that this year I will be home for the last two weeks in March, which is in my opinion, a prime time to ice fish. We have quite a bit of snow on the ground right now so traveling around too extensively is a bit of a workout, even on a snowmobile. Add some cold temperatures and short days, and fishing is not nearly as appealing as it is later in March when the temperatures improve, the snow melts, and the days get longer.
As we roll through another winter here in Northwest Ontario’s Sunset Country Region, I try to get out fishing here and there when I can.
