Here’s another Hotspot from Saskatchewan’s Last Mountain Lake. Big Northern Pike spawn here and then take a bit of time to feed before moving to deep water.

If you’re here and the fishing gets tough—or your hook-up ratio goes way down due to short-striking Pike—downsize your baits and most definitely add a stinger or trailer hook if possible.

A slow retrieve helps put your bait right in the Pike’s mouth, ensuring a better chance of hooking up.

Baits: Yamamoto and Big Hammer Swimbaits
Presentation: Cast and reel
Water depth: 4-6 feet
