I'm from Kentucky and have never caught a pike. I'm attempting to plan a long weekend tent camping trip to Wisconsin or Minnesota in my kayak sometime this year to just try and catch a bunch of pike. I really don't care about a trophy fish, more interested in quantity. So 3 questions: What is the best time of year for topwater action? And any recommendations for a lake in either state? Are there pike in every lake? Thanks for any help or recommendations!
