ESNAGAMI LAKE – N50° 20.731’ W86° 45.290’

Today’s Hotspot is a pre-spawn staging area for Northern Pike in front of Jackfish Bay on Esnagami Lake. The waypoint on the screen will get you there.

Big fish will lie dormant in this area waiting for the exact moment that Mother Nature deems perfect for the trek into the shallows. By slowly running a #3 inline spinner over these lethargic yet hungry beasts, an angler has a good chance of connecting with the fish of a lifetime. 40+ inch Pike are quite common in this area of the lake.
