Cold Front Pike

[TNFL]

Big cold front came in last night. Where can I target pike today, tuesday?

This after noon I would fish in 5 feet of water on the north side of the lake with a sucker minnow.The pike are in there feeding on small panfish,Thats what they seem to be doing on the lakes down here in hibbing!Good Luck!!

I'll be out tonight, from 5 to 8:30.

Does a cold front affect pike as much as it does walleye and bass?

[Pikeslayer]

I dont think so, There hungry this time of year!Last night we fished the last hour of daylight after the front came through and we went through a dozen minnows in no time.We took two for dinner!

Didn't have time to get bait last night. Fished the Northern side and caught 2 nice pike 35" and 26" in 6 to 10 feet of water on blue/chartruese 1/2 oz spinnerbait with tandem willow nickel blades. Good enough for first place on league night. Also caught 6 or 7 bass biggest being 18 in and a crappie.

Thats good to hear you did good!I love fishing pike,they seem to bite in any weather,you just have to figure out what they want!

[TNFL]

Thats true, on league night if we are having a tough time with the bass we usually will troll the weedline and at least pick up some pike. I personally don't care what I catch, as long as it goes TUG TUG on my line i'm happy. I release 99% of the game fish anyways.

Thanks for the tips and the responses!

Well I wouldn't want to go into a livewell .

By the way, one pike I caught was near a school of bait fish that we marked in around 9 ft.

Your pike are going to go where many fatty food sources are easily available then hang out somewhere warm...spawning minnows in the shallows sounds like a good place to me. It would be like us sitting in the sun on the front lawn and having pizza delivered in between naps after a long night out.
