The waters not frozen. How is northern pike fishing this time of year in open water. Are the fish active, will they hit lures, live bait, ect...
I Was thinking about trying Chapmans pond, the mouth of the Mattabesset and the coves around Hartford. |

| Pike are very active in cold water, and especially those spots your talking about, last year around April i pulled out a 49 inch pike around the Cromwell area and she was beauty, also got a couple more ranging from 25 to 39 inches. if i knew how to post pictures i would show her off. |

| With how cold the water still is for this time of year, I'd recommend using live bait. |

I think you need to host pictures on a separate site and then use the Img* button the insert them.[/img] |

I always hear people talking about big fish in Cromwell, I fished this a couple times in the fall to no avail.
I believe this is the spot they are talking about. |

| Yes that is the spot on google maps where i have caught the pike. It just has to be good conditions for the pike to bite. But i will try to post a like to see the picture. |
