Early season northern pike,s/e michigan
Not to be out done by all of you southern fishermen enjoying your temperate weather:
Got out for the first time this year which has been the earliest ive ever been out for warm water species. It was cold and drizzly with several inches of snow still on the ground. Tried the Clinton River at Dodge Park and with in the first 20 minutes or so I got into a couple pike and had a couple decent rips which I could only assume were pike. I was using a deep water clouser brown over white with a little flash of green in the center fished very slow. Fish seem to in the back water eddie areas where there wasnt a lot of current, actually there was no currrent at all. Definintly try this stretch again as it gets a little warmer.
