Ontario's Premier Pike Fishing | SCW Charters

Pike Fishing: 6-Hour Private Charter in NY

Get ready for a killer day chasing monster pike on this private 6-hour fishing trip out of New York. We'll hit the water at 7 AM sharp, giving us prime time to target those toothy predators when they're most active. This trip runs from June 10th through September 1st, right when the pike fishing is at its peak. Just remember, you'll need a valid Canadian fishing license for this one - we're fishing some seriously productive border waters here.

What to Expect on the Water

We're talking about northern pike that can stretch up to 36 inches and tip the scales at 10 pounds or more. These aren't your average fish - they're the kind that'll make your arms ache and leave you with stories to tell. I'll be using expert trolling techniques to put us on the fish, giving you the best shot at hooking into quality pike. And here's a bonus: Ontario's updated size regulations mean you can keep some legal-sized fish. I'll even fillet your catch, removing those pesky Y-bones so you can enjoy your pike without the hassle.

Trolling Tactics for Trophy Pike

Trolling is the name of the game when it comes to big pike. We'll be using heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with braided line to handle these toothy critters. Large, flashy lures like spoons and crankbaits will be our weapons of choice. We'll cover a lot of water, focusing on weed edges, drop-offs, and other pike hangouts. I'll show you how to work the lures and set the hook when a pike strikes. It's a technique that takes some getting used to, but man, when you feel that hit and the rod doubles over - there's nothing like it.

Northern Pike: The Water Wolf

Northern pike are often called "water wolves" for good reason. These predators are ambush hunters, lying in wait among weeds or submerged structure before exploding on their prey. In our waters, pike can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 40 inches not unheard of. They're most active in cooler water, which is why our early morning starts are key. Pike put up a serious fight, often making multiple runs and even jumping clear out of the water. The best time to target them is early summer and fall when they're feeding heavily. Anglers love pike for their aggressive strikes and the challenge they present - landing a big one is a real accomplishment.
