Fishing for Northern Pike in late autumn requires skill and creativity, especially when these elusive fish take shelter along weed borders, reed lines, and wood-laden shorelines.
Tactics for Success:
Choose the Right Lure
Consider using slightly larger than usual (up to 1 ounce) bass-style willow leaf spinner baits. Adding a worm or twister tail can make your lure more enticing. This combination is very effective when retrieved quickly, as it creates a bulge just below the water's surface. Keep the lure moving steadily through the water without additional action?"it’s that straightforward.
Dive Deeper
When Pike retreat from the surface, heavier muskie-sized spinnerbaits (1-2 ounces) get the job done. Let the spinnerbait sink, then slowly reel it back close to the bottom, especially effective in thick grass or along rocky structures.
Opt for Hard Crankbaits
Hard crankbaits excel in open water, deep flats, and rocky structures, especially from midsummer until freeze-up at Lake Manitoba Narrows. Lipless versions work well around weed lines, adding versatility to your arsenal.
Trolling Strategies
If you decide to troll, focus on transitions, edges, and drop-offs instead of aimlessly exploring. A brief pause can tempt a trailing Pike to strike - giving it no choice but to snatch at the lure.
Spoon Techniques
Weedless spoons are favorable around covers, while traditional spoons perform best in rocky lake areas. During late fall, use larger spoons for their distinctive wobbling and thumping action. Each day requires experimentation, as Pike preferences can change rapidly.
Spin and Cast
Though many anglers favor in-line spinners around vegetation, trying them on shallow rock piles, reefs, and shoals can yield success. As Pike move to deeper water, patrolling weedlines and rocky edges exposed to wind and waves proves effective.
Jig Presentation
Nothing captures a Pike’s attention like a hefty (up to 1 ounce) bass-style jig with oversized 5 to 8-inch soft plastic tails, minnows, or eels. The jig's weight and dressing size should match the water depth and fish size. For aggressive fish, let the jig sink, then quickly snap and retrieve it with a lift and pause technique.
