Pike Fishing Tips for Lake Kabetogama
Lake Kabetogama Trophy Pike
We have been getting frequently asked about finding successful trophy pike fishing on Lake Kabetogama. Therefore, we have compiled a few of our best pike fishing tips to help you find and catch these Lake Kabetogama trophies.
PIKE GEAR
Pike fishing is a serious game. If you are here for pike, put your walleye gear away. If you want to throw big baits then you need big gear. This means you have to have a rod with some backbone.
My favorite is the telescoping Prorex by Diawa match that with the Lexa400 HD. It’s a quality setup that can handle whatever you plan on throwing at these fish.
HOW TO FIND PIKE
Look for and target the submerged weed beds. I like the ones that no one knows is there, no grass or weeds visible.
Next, you will need to locate them. Find them with your electronics then back out. Start Looking in any of the bays on kab.
HOW TO TARGET PIKE
Once you find a promising spot, keep the boat out in 10-12 feet of water and cast big shallow running baits on top of submerged weeds. The goal is to be casting into 5-7 feet- any shallower you will be catching weeds most of the time.
Use Suicks, Big bucktails, big topwater. Wire leaders are the only way to go for sure. Not the cheaper plastic coated “steel/steal leaders”.
WHEN THE PIKE ARE SHALLOW
If you don’t find them deeper then try shallow, and this is most applicable in the fall.
In this instance, I recommend that you try a softball-sized bobber in about 3-6 feet of water. At our Kab Outdoors store we have some custom-made harness’s that lets the 4-12” sucker swim freely.
Be sure to swing by our store to grab your items and get the latest fishing report.
