Fall Pike baits
« on: Sep 19, 2023, 02:56 PM »
What would be your go-to bait for fall pike?
Specifically in a shallow and weedy ADK lake.

I've got some Mepps spinners, a couple jerk baits, and a whopper plopper style topwater bait.
Anything else I should really consider bringing or any tips on what to focus on?
It rare I find the time to get out for fall pike and wan't to optimize my chances of landing some fish here.

My go to is x-raps. Bigger the better. I can't remember the size but I occasionally use the salt water ones.

Buzz baits, similar to whopper plopper but a little more economically and can create a little more of a wake and noise.  Smaller (go as big as you'd like) Sebile Magic Swimmers are a good option too.

orange has always been good to me. Specifically the Rapala "hot head" color. 
   Basically anything big or loud or bright works for me.

doesn't necessarily need to be orange,  just bright.  Chrome or gold works great too. Normally if you get their attention,  they chase.
