Hello. I live in Northern Illinois and unfortunately only get one weekly fishing trip per year. I take whichever family can go with and we go Northern Pike and Bass fishing on Big McKenzie lake in Spooner Wisconsin. We use one rod with a northern minnow on a bobber and one for casting. Anyone familiar with the lake and how do you fish it?

Welcome to the Forum, mistred, From the picture, it looks like your system works.

Welcome to the Stage Mistred, sorry can't help you. 1 fishing trip per year? WOW, I complain about once a week during warm weather. Good Luck and Tight Lines!

Hello Neighbor! I travel from Palatine, IL to fish northern pike. Your lake and nearby Bangs Lake and Lake Zuric produce some very impressive northerns in the winter using 5-7 inch bait fish 3+ ft. under the surface on tip-ups, or spinners and spoons in summer, and of course your live bait under a bobber. Good luck!

My 23 yr old daughter gets out fishing more than I do. She's my fisherman.
