Trolling deep reefs with hard structure surrounding it was the ticket. Fish in and outside the slot were on fire. Nothing huge, but action was nonstop.

Northern PikeTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureReedsBostic and Zippel Bays were clear of ice early this year. The big pike come in to the bays to spawn. Pike fishing is open year round on Lake Of The Woods, and ice out is a great time to target them as they congregate in the bays. I used spinner baits, spoons and chatter baits primarily. The Zman Big Blade came through to attract pike. LOTW is known for being a place to use gold colored lures. This trip proved that, gold was a preferred color for all the lures I used.
