Casting Spoons are some of the best lures for targeting northern pike. You can fish them shallow or deep and have a lot of success. Try fishing them around scattered weeds and lily pads when pike in the shallows from 2 to 12 feet of water. When the pike are deep, try casting heavier spoons and let these lures sink to the depth that the fish are holding. A slow and steady retrieve will give the spoon plenty of action, but you can work some spoons in with a faster retrieve.
