All the big pike i've ever caught have been in about 2-3 feet of water near the shoreline in the dead of night. They scare the s#$* out of you when they hit 3 feet away. |

If you don't mind a two hour drive, Sabattus Pond in Maine has all you can handle, although they're usually only 3-4 pounds. Messalonskee about an hour further north has big ones; I can give you a P.M. with some good locations if you want.

Tell the Pike you are rich, you will marry her, father her children and be loyal forever. She will walk across the land to you.
Then take a picture and throw her back.  |
May fortune favor the foolish....

My experience with Pike is through the ice with a BIG arkansas shiner.
3-4 feet of water at the mouth of a feeder stream. I made a movie of my FIL catching one after another one fine Sunday that were all over 3 feet long. Can't show it because of language  Couldn't be helped the fishing was THAT good!! Within 20 minutes of Boston. |
