Anyone know if the Northern Pike are biting in the kipling or escanaba harbor?
If so, what are they hitting on? I'd like to get out there finally, been too busy so far this year. If anyone knows If/Where there are any Whitefish hitting I love to hear it. Any info. would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Fished for Walleyes off the Yellow gate on Tuseday got one pike 34" and no Walleyes. Pike hit a #5 firetiger jig rap. Good luck fishing from Walleye Quinn

i fished just past butlets island earlier this winter about 200 yards and than to the right about 300 yards in about 12FOW and we used suckers minnows on tipups about 2.5' off the bottom and would catch around 8 pike a day. the average size was around 22" but i know there is some big ones that hang out thier! Good Luck

Sounds like mostly hammer handles in the Escanaba harbor, so far.
