Northern Pike
Early May – Mid June / October

Huge Northern Pike are solitary predators. The Saiff Charter Team knows the structure of Eastern Lake Ontario better than anyone. The haunts where these big fish reside are common knowledge to our team members. We are consistent derby winners and catch the biggest Pike!
Above, Tom McCann and Fran Rosencranz show Northern Pike that were taken during the month of October. Tom’s Big Gator hit a Berkley Flicker Minnow trolled in Henderson Harbor! Fran’s Big Fish came in the legendary “Gill House Run”. These are great examples of the Big Northern Pike that swim in our waters!

We use Planer Board techniques to present baits into the shallow water where these BIG FISH reside. When the bite is “On”, its not uncommon to have multiple Pike on at once. Average sizes range from 5 lbs. to 15 lbs. with examples breaking the 20lb. mark!
