maplegrovefisherman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 My son and I are thinking about going to Pike Lake this weekend. Hoping to get some panfish and throw out a tipup. Is this lake any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratocasterDave Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Been on Pike quite a bit. Crappies have been good but seemed to really slow down last two weeks. Curious what others are finding.If you're in the area, might be worth going to Wappogasette instead. Panfish has been very good over by the island by the shanty town.

maplegrovefisherman Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks Stratocaster! Might have to give that a try. I haven;t fished Wappogasette before. Would it be worth it to bring a few suckers to throw under a tip up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Kuhn Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 FYI it's spelled Wapogasset if you need to punch it into a GPS.Pike isn't a bad lake, but I've never tried for pannies there so I can't say. Wapo is much more popular, and shanty-town will show you where the fish are biting. Lot's of medium sized bass in Wapo, and quite a few pike as well. Couldn't rule out a walleye either. So tip-ups would definitely be a good idea if you can find room. Lot's of good areas away from shanty-town too, so don't be too afraid to explore.

Caught and released a number of bluegills. Half would be keepers.Pike is nice but I don't know what the shanty area is producing. My area was very good for crappies but slowed way down a week ago. Good luck!Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplegrovefisherman Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Fished yesterday for a few hrs, but no bites. Was around the little island on the north side of Wappo. Didn't see or hear of anyone catching any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
