Northern Pike

Lake Erie is not home to a large northern pike population.  There are some places where you can target them and actually catch some pike, but for the most part, this lake is a walleye, smallmouth bass, perch and steelhead fishery.  If you want to target northern pike on Lake Erie, your best bet is probably to fish the bays at Sandusky and Erie, Pennsylvania.  If you head into Lake St. Clair, you can up your odds a little bit more if you want to go pike fishing.
