Six nights cabin lodging with five full fishing days includedTwo boats provided with gas for groups up to four anglersPrime Northern Pike season from July through midSeptember
If you're serious about pike fishing, this package delivers everything you need for an epic week on the water. Running from mid-July through September, you'll hit prime pike season when these aggressive predators are actively feeding and putting up their best fights. With 6 nights in a comfortable cabin and 5 full days of fishing, plus two boats with gas included, this setup gives your group of up to 4 anglers plenty of room to spread out and work the best spots without crowding each other.
This isn't your typical day-trip fishing experience – you're getting a full week to really dial in the bite patterns and explore different areas. The package runs during peak pike season when water temperatures are perfect and these fish are actively hunting in the shallows and weed edges. You'll have access to two boats, which means every pair of anglers gets their own ride – no more fighting over who gets to fish the prime spots or waiting around while someone else lands a fish. The boats come fueled and ready, so you can focus on what matters: finding and catching pike. Each morning, you'll head out with a full day ahead of you, plenty of time to work different structures, depths, and presentations until you figure out what's triggering strikes.
Pike fishing is all about covering water and triggering reaction strikes, and this setup gives you the flexibility to try different approaches. During summer and early fall, focus on weed edges, drop-offs, and shallow bays where pike ambush prey. Large spoons, spinnerbaits, and topwater baits work great when pike are aggressive, while soft plastics and jigs can save the day when they're being finicky. With two boats, you can split up and test different areas – one boat working the shallows with surface lures while the other targets deeper structure with bucktails or large swimbaits. The key is staying mobile and not getting stuck fishing dead water. Pike are opportunistic feeders, so keep changing up your retrieve speeds and lure colors until you find what they want. Steel leaders are mandatory – these fish have razor-sharp teeth that'll slice through mono or braid in a heartbeat.
Northern Pike are the star of this show, and for good reason. These apex predators can stretch over 40 inches and provide some of the most explosive strikes you'll ever experience. Pike are ambush hunters that lurk in weed beds and along structure, then explode on unsuspecting baitfish with lightning speed. During the package dates from July through September, pike are actively feeding to bulk up for winter, making them more aggressive and willing to chase larger baits. What makes pike fishing so addictive is their unpredictability – they'll slam a lure right at boatside or follow your bait for 50 yards before deciding to strike. The aerial displays and head-shaking runs make every pike hookup a memorable battle, and fish in the 30+ inch range are legitimate trophies that'll have you grinning for days.
While pike are the main target, you'll also encounter Walleye throughout these same waters. Walleye fishing adds a nice change of pace from the aggressive pike tactics, requiring more finesse and precision. These golden beauties typically hold in deeper water during the day, moving shallow to feed during low-light periods. Walleye in the 18-24 inch range are common, with some stretching past 26 inches for true bragging rights. They're excellent table fare too, so you can enjoy some fresh fish dinners back at the cabin. During the package season, focus on points, humps, and weed lines in 12-20 feet of water using jigs, crawler harnesses, or crankbaits. The subtle bite of a walleye is completely different from a pike's aggressive strike, keeping you on your toes and adding variety to each day on the water.
At $1,650 for up to 4 people, you're looking at just over $400 per angler for a full week of prime pike fishing with lodging and boats included. That's tough value to beat, especially during peak season when these fish are most active. The package gives you the time and flexibility to really get dialed in on the bite, something you just can't do with a day trip. Remember that deposits are non-refundable, so make sure your dates work before committing. With the season running from July 15 to September 20, you've got a good window to find dates that work for your group. Don't sleep on this one – packages like this during prime pike season fill up fast, and you'll be kicking yourself if you miss out on a week of explosive pike action.
Your Northern Pike adventure features a trusty 16-foot Lund boat powered by a dependable 30hp Yamaha outboard that'll get you to those prime pike waters without any fuss. This setup handles beautifully whether you're working the weed lines or cruising between hotspots. The boat's stable design gives you confidence when fighting those toothy predators, while the roomy layout means you and your fishing partner can cast comfortably without bumping elbows. With two boats included for your group of four, you'll have plenty of space to spread out and work different structures. The reliable Yamaha motor ensures you spend more time with lines in the water instead of dealing with mechanical headaches, perfect for those long days chasing aggressive pike during peak season.
Esox LuciusNorthern pike are the wolves of freshwater - aggressive predators that'll hit just about anything you throw at them. Most run 2-3 feet long and 3-8 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 40+ incher. They love shallow, weedy bays and coves where they ambush prey like living torpedoes. July through September is prime time when they're active and feeding heavy before fall turnover. These fish fight dirty - powerful runs, head shakes, and they'll jump if you're not careful. What makes them special is that explosive strike and never knowing if the next cast brings a decent fish or a true monster. Pro tip: when you feel a pike hit, don't set the hook right away. Let them run with it a few seconds - they like to play with their food before committing.
Sander VitreusWalleye are among the best eating fish you'll find, with sweet, flaky white meat that makes every trip worthwhile. These golden-colored fish typically run 15-20 inches, though we see plenty pushing 25+ inches during peak season. They've got those distinctive glassy eyes that help them hunt in low light - dawn and dusk are prime time. Look for them around rocky points, weed edges, and drop-offs in 10-25 feet of water. Summer evenings are magic when they move shallow to feed. They're not the flashiest fighters, but they make steady, determined runs that'll keep your rod bent. Here's a tip: when you feel that telltale walleye "thump," count to three before setting the hook. They like to mouth the bait first, and patience pays off with better hooksets.
