Balsam Lake Pike

[jimca11]

Heading to Balsam for a week at the Provincial Park with my 2 boy's Aug 10. We have fished Balsam for a couple years (mostly small perch) and I figure it would be nice to hook some pike for a little more excitement and I do like to eat them. We have a 14" alum and mostly fish the East shore of North Bay along Indian Point and the North shore of West Bay towards Mitchell Lake.

Not looking for honey holes just a higher percentage area. Thanks

Any weedlines should hold them at that time of year. Try spinnerbaits, johnson weedless spoons or crankbaits and you shoud hook up with one. If all else fails, use a flipping jig.

WEST BAY all the way to the end

I have heard the same...West Bay. Having said that, I have caught several in south bay while musky fishing
