I would try Hamilton or Chapman lake near Warsaw.  These are the two best pike waters I know of within an hour of Ft. Wayne.  I don't know much about MI waters

Angola guy.....you are located extremly close to some of the best Pike fishing the state has to offer.  Lets see.....where to start.......Hamilton............for starters....one of the best in NE Indiana.   Hard to troll with the weeds but tight lining live bait and casting should do.  I did not personally do it but I heard they were hitting big numbers around the new section on the west side during Ice fishing..........Don't forget Lake James chain. (Snow, Big Otter).  This is about the only time of year to hit them as the boat traffic gets out of hand in the summer.  I saw a big fatty come out of Golden last year.  Guy was trooling a spoonplug!!  Clear Lake, West Otter, SILVER, Hogback, Loon (Steuben), Fox, Crooked......and the list goes on and on and on......heck if you got a boat and an empty seat......I will join ya!!      Good Luck and tell the Soilder I said

"Thanks for his sacrafices for this wonderfull country!"

Diamond and Lower Long in noble co. have some nice pike in them. Try the sand bar in the middle on diamond and the northern half on lower long.
